It's time to get excited, pirates, because the Sea of Thieves closed beta is kicking off and the team behind the title are celebrating with a brand new trailer! The shared-world adventure is even more enticing with a brand new video while players themselves get to dive right in!
For those that pre-ordered the game, the closed beta is available to enjoy and the video above showcases the sillier aspects to the game's experience. Unfortunately, the beta is experiencing a few technical issues - which isn't unheard of, the purpose is for testing out the kinks before launch - but the team is actively working on a fix. For those that did not pre-order the title, there has yet to be an open beta announcement but there's still time since the game doesn't release until March!
