Rare has released the closed beta for the PlayStation 5 version of Sea of Thieves, which runs until 9am UTC on April 15.
Closed beta testers will be able to carry over progress to Early Access and the full release of the game, as well as earn the Dauntless Adventurer Sails and Title. These cosmetics are exclusive to the PS5 and can only be equipped while playing on the console.
Players for the closed beta will also be fast-tracked to level 10 in Seasonal Renown when Season 12 launches on April 30.
The @PlayStation 5 Closed Beta is currently experiencing a high volume of new players, which may result in longer waiting times than normal as pirates enter the Sea of Thieves. Thanks for your patience, everyone! https://t.co/4Djsg7lkwn
