Before you get started, if you’re playing on Xbox One, you will definitely need to have an Xbox Live Gold subscription to be able to play Sea of Thieves online. Finding the Xbox Game Pass can be a bit odd, as it’s not a game so it can’t be easily searched in the Store. You will need to find the Membership section either through your Games & Apps or via the Store front. Despite it being a free trial, you will still need to input a credit card number, just remember to cancel it after the 2-week trial or you will be billed for the following month.
As for the Windows 10 PC gamers, finding the Xbox Game Pass is even more complicated thanks to the double-up of the Xbox App and Microsoft Store. However, you can easily find the Xbox Game Pass online by heading to the Microsoft Store.
After signing up for the Xbox Game Pass trial, you should be able to locate Sea of Thieves in the Store and install it, regardless of whether you’re on Xbox One or Windows 10 PC. And because Sea of Thieves is a Play Anywhere game, if you installed it on Xbox One, you can play it on PC, and vice versa.
In the event you’ve already used the 14-day trial of Xbox Game Pass, you will need to pay the full monthly price of $9.99 USD in order to download and play Sea of Thieves. However, if you’ve yet to redeem your trial, you’re one of the lucky gamers who get to experience Sea of Thieves for free!
