So I want to get Sea of Thieves for PC and I saw that it recently came to steam. I would normally opt for steam however it is 50% off on the Microsoft Store so I was wondering if there is any reason I should go with steam or if I should just go for the Microsoft store due to the sale.
Sea of Thieves is now available to purchase and play on Steam. The game was previously exclusively available on PC through the Microsoft Store, but after two years and the introduction of microtransactions, Rare and Microsoft decided it was time. While bringing Sea of Thieves to Steam hasn't stopped Rare from maintaining cross-play across all platforms and storefronts, there is one limitation. Rare's confirmed that no, current Sea of Thieves players will not be getting a free copy of the game on Steam.
Rare decided to cover it in a recently released FAQ detailing how the Steam release connects to the other versions of Sea of Thieves. To repeat, regardless of whether Sea of Thieves purchased a copy of the game on Xbox One or through the Microsoft Store, a Steam key will not be provided. Steam also does not support Xbox Game Pass for PC, so Game Pass subscribers will have to stick with the Xbox app.

There is some good news, however. While Sea of Thieves players aren't being gifted a free copy of the game, if they purchase the game themselves their progress will carry over. Since playing Sea of Thieves requires an Xbox Live account, regardless of whether a user is playing on Steam, Xbox One, or wherever, all progress is saved to that account. An Xbox One user can simply buy the game on Steam and then login like normal.
And by 'progress carries over' Rare means everything will carry over. All of a Sea of Thieves player's cosmetics will carry over, all of their ranks with the respective trade companies will carry over, and all of a player's earned currency will absolutely carry over, too.
Other information offered in the FAQ includes some more specific details, but nothing very surprising or urgent. Sea of Thieves still requires Windows 10 to play, even on Steam. It's also confirmed that Sea of Thieves will be available in all regions and countries where Steam is available. Rare is even adding more languages for the Steam release.
Perhaps the bigger issue at hand is that some gamers would prefer if Sea of Thieves Barn door brush seal. was a free-to-play game. That would allow Sea of Thieves players to play it through whatever storefront they wanted, but it would also mean Sea of Thieves would have much more intrusive microtransactions. This is what works for Sea of Thieves now.
Sea of Thieves is available now on PC and Xbox One.
