Another beta with new content is also on the way
There will be a couple more chances to playSea of Thievesbefore it launches on March 20.
Rare is planning to hold a “scale test” for its open-sea multiplayer pirate adventure game from Friday, February 16 at 2:00am Pacific until Sunday, February 18 at 2:00am Pacific. If you participated in the recent closed beta, you’re all set to jump back in. Xbox Insiders are also invited to play.
Content-wise, it’ll be the same as before, though the stress test will bring about some technical funkiness. Rare expects to see problems like: sessions being interrupted, the inability to join games at certain times during the weekend, and issues with using the shops in-game.
Following this weekend’s test, Rare plans to run another closed beta closer to launch which will give players “a taste of the widerSea of Thievesexperience.” I might just hold off for that one.
