1) Where are some of you finding the Game Pass codes for $2?
2) I hear you can access the game in New Zealand once the game is released there. How do? Can it be done with Game Pass still?

1) https://www.cdkeys.com/xbox-live/memberships/1-month-xbox-game-pass-xbox-one-360 (Some member on the forum shared a way to use this for two months i believe. AlsoI think it only works if you never subbed or used trial. Someone correct me if i am wrong. But apart from that, you can always create new account, use the code and keep playing on your main acccount on your Xbox.)

2) Not sure how it will work, last month i tried swithing to NZ and Aus to get the Game Pass games early but it did'nt work for me.

When playing in a crew of 4 or 2, do you only earn money from handing in a treasure chest yourself, or does everybody gain from just one person handing a chest over?

Everyone gets paid. Also people can share more advanced and even legendary quest with the group so people can make more than they would normally.

Everyone gets paid, and leveled. Although the beta had some issues with this, as in they payments came in with a 20min delay.
During the beta, I joined a game where the guys had been playing for hours, and hours. And as I joined, they we're just handing the treasure in, so it was kind of handy.
Got like 6000 gold and 5 Goldhoarder levels, just by accidentally entering the right game.

Edit.

I'm looking for piratey food ideas? Rumham was supposed to be on the menu, but I'm thinking that might not work out. Perhaps a nice stew with rum in it somehow.

Really curious how handling a boat solo is going to be. It sounds and looks very stressful!

The solo sloop is a lot of fun, you just have to be a little careful when it comes to ship-ship combat because you can't be everywhere at once. The important stuff for moving the boat is all right there, so you never stray too far from the helm. It's incredibly well designed and well balanced.

Thanks for your quick replies above ^ It does sound like playing with a crew is going to be quite beneficial.

It means that I may have to....talk to strangers *runs away and hides*

Ahoy! In celebration of the release of Sea of Thieves, I'm running a little contest.

The rules are simple. The first person to PM me with the correct answer to the puzzle at the link below will win a three-month game pass subscription and a $10 Xbox gift code. Note: When you get to the final part of the puzzle, it may seem like there is more than one possible answer, but think again. One solution will be a better fit than the others.

OK, clue number one completed. Not too challenging. The video on the banana site tells you where else on the web to go and then you have to figure out the puzzle that is posted there. They give two major clues though, so it's not very difficult. I suspect these will get much harder.

Since i don't really want to pay for Xbox Live, i'll be playing this on PC. Are there any headsets for PC that only output chat audio, similar to Xbox? Or would an Xbox One headset work on PC if you connect it to the controller?

Yeah, solved it. Being a non-English speaker can get a bit tricky in situations like this lol. Never heard of a semaphore before, but yeah It was pretty obvious.

So... are we expecting to be able to play the 1:40h from now downloading the from the NZ Game Pass?

Yes, should work if they haven't implemented some brand new restrictions.

It is the very first brand new game release inside of Game Pass so we don't know yet. Theoretically, it should work, from the website, console changed to NZ or at the very least, vpn.

The beta was extremely light on content and the full game doesn't seem to add that much more. The sailing is great, but quests and combat seem questionable in quality.

I wouldn't buy it before reviews, or you get it for cheap through Game Pass with a free trial.

If you didn't play the beta to decide for yourself, maybe try Game Pass.

Thanks for the replies.

How big is the game world in this? Is it many islands and a large sea?

I really want it, but the Windows Store is totally busted on my PC (won't let me download anything). Kind of hoping they roll out an update before it drops.

Have you tried the store troubleshoot in the settings? It will clear out the store cache and everything, that worked for me when my downloads got stuck once. But that was a while ago and it might be a different problem.
