Game news Want to play Sea of Thieves on PS5 in advance? Good news, Xbox has thought of you!
Ahead of the release of Sea of Thieves on PS5, Rare and Microsoft have planned to spoil Playstation players by offering them a closed beta which offers several advantages. We explain everything you need to know about this testing phase, which is as valuable for players as for developers.
Sea of Thieves Closed Beta on PS5 Begins Soon
Microsoft created the event last February by announcing the arrival of Sea of Thieves on PS5. A delightful release in more than one way, which expands the catalog of game services on the Sony console. Alone or with others, PS5 players will soon be able to sail on the high seas in search of exploration, naval clashes and legendary treasures.
The journey begins very soon, but a few lucky people will even be able to soak their necks in advance as Rare has decided to organize a closed beta which will take place from April 12 to 15. This beta is aimed more at players already convinced by the Sea of Thieves proposition since it is reserved for those who have pre-ordered the software on PS5. That being said, this testing phase still has several advantages.

All the benefits of closed beta
Sailing ahead will provide various benefits to PS5 players. To start, everyone in the Closed Beta will get a Dauntless Adventurer title and set of sails. Enough to proudly display its PS5 pioneer colors. In addition, and where it is perhaps even more interesting, it will be possible to earn fame, money and cosmetics from season 11. All of this will be preserved during the official release of the game. Finally , beta testers will also get 10 Renown levels for Season 12, which will begin when the game launches on Playstation.
Concerning the closed beta, it will be accessible via servers reserved for Playstation players. No cross-play therefore, which can nevertheless be activated from the official launch. Trophies will be locked until further notice, but the game will still retain player progress so they can obtain them later. Subsequently, the journey will officially begin on April 30 on PS5, and five days in advance for those who have pre-ordered the Premium edition.
