Sea of Thieves: how to get in on the Xbox One and PC open beta

4.1
Surprise! A final beta for Sea of Thieves will be held this weekend and it’s open to all Xbox One and Windows 10 users.

The final beta for Seas of Thieves kicks off today, and you don’t need to be an Xbox Insider to participate.

This is open to absolutely anyone to play, and can be downloaded now from the Store on Xbox One and Windows 10.

In the Final Beta, alongside the Gold Hoarders, the developers will be testing Merchant Alliance voyages for the first time.

Players will also have the chance to find a now occupied Skeleton Fort. The lovely skull cloud hovering above denotes both danger and great rewards .

Previous beta players will also find Xbox One X enhancements will be available during the open beta.

If you have participated in the closed betas, you already know the routine. For those who haven’t, or uninstalled it, we’ve posted some handy instructions for you below.

Did we really need a step by step guide on how to play the "Open" beta? FOr sure will be giving this a try on my PC though instead of my Xbox. Hopefully, I can see some better graphics and player control on the PC.
