If you're enjoying the closed beta of Sea of Thieves or are waiting to get in over the weekend, you'll be pleased to hear that the developer Rare has announced that they will be extending the closed beta by two days!
The closed beta opened its doors on January 24 and was set to conclude on January 29. Thanks to this extention however, the closed beta will now close on January 31 instead.
The main reason for the extension was due to a number of people being unable to access the closed beta due to a 'too early' message some gamers who had pre-ordered the digital version of the game were receiving.
In a post, Rare stated, “We know your gaming hours are precious and our number one goal is to get everyone with Closed Beta access into the game as soon as possible. Whilst we work on making this happen, we’d like to announce that we’re extending the Sea of Thieves Closed Beta by two days.”
“We want to ensure that anyone who has missed out on any time sailing the seas still gets to enjoy the Closed Beta to its fullest.”
Sea of Thieves releases on Xbox One and Windows 10 on March 20.
