Sea of Thieves coming to STEAM on June 3

Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. It is tough to play together with multiple crews with the current game design, but we will make a few attempts to get on the same server together with multiple ships at the start, so try to be there on time for this purpose. In order to maximize our odds of getting more than one ship on the same server, please download the Windscribe VPN client, sign up for a free account, and have it installed and ready to use for these nights. It is easy to use and gives you 10 GBs of free data each month.

Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously. You can try it for a month for $1. See below.

We will be coordinating via Origin friends in addition to Discord and will determine what mode we will play once everyone has joined the game lobby. Be sure to join our OSF Titanfall 2 network with the instructions at the link below to make it easier for you to find your way into the game lobby. You can also join on people already in the lobby from the external Origin friends list. If we would happen to have more than 16 of us, we will split ourselves into groups. There are also coop missions available, so we could split ourselves into groups of 4 and play that mode as well.
