For the longest time, we've been talking about why Xbox Play Anywhere is so important to us on Sea of Thieves. In addition, last August, we turned on cross play in our Technical Alpha, enabling Xbox One and Windows 10 PC players to be able to play together, and it's been an active feature ever since!

Being able to play with friends on a different platform really is magical the first time you experience it, especially if it's with a friend you've never been able to game with before. Breaking down barriers and allowing more players to play together is a key goal for Sea of Thieves, and it's great to see how well cross play has been received by our community.



As we head into Closed Beta, our next step is to fully enable Xbox Play Anywhere. We're delighted to announce that starting in Closed Beta on January 24th, you can jump between any device and continue your journey to becoming a pirate legend, whether that's on a Windows 10 PC, Windows 10 laptop, Xbox One, Xbox One S or Xbox One X. And with cross play, you'll always have a friend to sail with, regardless of where they play.
