RELATED: Sea of Thieves Now on Steam With Cross-Play Support
There is some good news, however. While Sea of Thieves players aren’t being gifted a free copy of the game, if they purchase the game themselves their progress will carry over. Since playing Sea of Thieves requires an Xbox Live account, regardless of whether a user is playing on Steam, Xbox One, or wherever, all progress is saved to that account. An Xbox One user can simply buy the game on Steam and then login like normal.
And by “progress carries over” Rare means everything will carry over. All of a Sea of Thieves player’s cosmetics will carry over, all of their ranks with the respective trade companies will carry over, and all of a player’s earned currency will absolutely carry over, too.
Perhaps the bigger issue at hand is that some gamers would prefer if Sea of Thieves was a free-to-play game. That would allow Sea of Thieves players to play it through whatever storefront they wanted, but it would also mean Sea of Thieves would have much more intrusive microtransactions. This is what works for Sea of Thieves now.
Sea of Thieves is available now on PC and Xbox One.
