Sea of Thieves Shows Off New Trailer as Closed Beta Kicks Off

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!
