Sea of Thieves, the popular action-adventure pirate game by Rare, is currently running a closed beta for its PlayStation 5 version, which lasts until April 15th. This testing phase allows players who pre-ordered the game to explore most of its content, excluding the Pirate Emporium and Trophies. Participants can earn Renown, currency, and cosmetic rewards from the Season 11 progression track during this period. It's important for those taking part in the beta to link their Microsoft Account to their PlayStation Network account and have an active PlayStation Plus subscription. The full PS5 version of Sea of Thieves will be released on April 30th, featuring complete cross-play support. Additionally, players who carry their progress over to the full game will receive a bonus of 10 Renown levels for the upcoming Season 12.

What is the incentive for participating in the Sea of Thieves PS5 closed beta?

Participants of the Sea of Thieves PS5 closed beta will be able to transfer all progress and unlocked items to the full game upon purchase. Also, they will receive an extra bonus of 10 Renown levels for the Season 12 progression track after the beta ends.

Sea of Thieves is developed by Rare, a studio known for its extensive history of creating memorable games, such as Banjo-Kazooie and GoldenEye 007. Sea of Thieves launched initially for Xbox One and PC in March 2018 and has been consistently updated with new content and features, including seasonal updates, quests, and collaborative events. The game emphasizes multiplayer cooperation and competition as players take to the high seas to find treasure, battle other pirates, and explore an open world filled with both opportunities and dangers. The upcoming PlayStation 5 version promises to bring this thrilling pirate experience to a new audience, with enhancements to take advantage of the console’s capabilities.
