Why join the Insiders?

Becoming an Insider is a great move if you’re a very keen Sea of Thieves player, especially if you’re interested in game development. By being an Insider, you’ll get a closer relationship with the developers, not just via exclusive Insider communications but by seeing work-in-progress features and having your chance to test them and give feedback. Insiders are also rewarded with in-game currency and cosmetics.

To join the Insider Programme you will need to be at least 18 years of age, apply using a Sea of Thieves account created a minimum of 30 days ago and be an active player (defined as having played the retail version of Sea of Thieves within the last 14 days).

How does it work?

Once you join the Insider Programme by signing up on this site, you can obtain the current Insider build from your game library and start playing. Remember that you agree to an NDA when you sign up, so all content seen in Insider builds is confidential.

What am i missing right now?

So much! New releases of the Insider build are typically sent out weekly. These contain work-in-progress features which may be a little rough around the edges, but can be played well before the average player gets their hands on them.
