Sea of Thieves Closed Beta Now Live on PlayStation 5
The highly anticipated Sea of Thieves closed beta for PlayStation 5 is now live, offering players a taste of Rare’s open-world pirate adventure ahead of the game’s full release on April 30, 2024. The closed beta, which began on April 12, 2024, at 9:00 UTC, is accessible to users who pre-ordered any edition of the game.
Participants in the closed beta will have the opportunity to carry their progress over to the full game upon its release. This includes Season 11 Renown, currency, and cosmetic rewards, ensuring players can continue their adventures seamlessly on launch day. Additionally, beta participants will be rewarded with 10 levels of Renown towards their Season 12 progression track, providing a head start in the new season’s battle pass.
Exclusive rewards are also available to beta participants. Those who take part will earn the Dauntless Adventurer Sails and Title, which are exclusive to the PlayStation platform. These rewards will be immediately accessible when the full game launches, adding a unique flair to players’ ships and profiles.
However, it’s important to note that beta participants will not be able to engage with the Pirate Emporium during the closed beta period. Additionally, the beta is limited to PlayStation 5 players only, with no cross-play available during this testing phase.
Despite these limitations, the closed beta offers PlayStation 5 players an exciting opportunity to experience Sea of Thieves ahead of its official release. The game, which has been available on other platforms for some time, brings its unique blend of exploration, combat, and cooperation to the PlayStation community.
For those interested in joining the closed beta, pre-ordering any version of Sea of Thieves is required. The beta will run until April 15, 2024, at 9:00 UTC, giving players a limited time to explore the vast seas and start their pirate legends.
