SoI'm thinking about buying a game key for Xbox One, since some of those are cheaper than the physical/digital copies from the original seller. I was wondering if I needed an Xbox Live subscription in order to redeem a code.

Without a subscription, you will keep being able to access games associated with the account. You do need access to the service to continue being able to download or stream game content, so you would require at least a Silver subscription, which is free.

I haven't been able to find information on whether developers can directly code multiplayer into their games (i.e. their own account/server infrastructure) on the xbox one. Technially, yes, since xbox is at this point just a locked down x86 pc.

Some games might allow you to play online, but have a degraded experience, such as: won't allow you to see the Friends list or chat. This is actually an implementation flaw: the game doesn't check the subscription at the right time. Other (mostly older, more indie) titles with their own multiplayer infrastructure may also ignore the requirement. What's locked down by the paid account is the Xbox-wide multiplayer features; the friends list, microsoft hosted servers, the Trueskill matchmaking, etc.

You can redeem any code you want to add games to your library, but you won't be able to play the games that require Gold without a subscription. Gold also offers some "free" games, but if your subscription runs out you lose access to them.

When redeeming product codes for items such as Ancient Coin bundles or specific cosmetic items, be sure to do it on the platform on which you most regularly play Sea of Thieves to avoid any risk of your new content not being recognised.

In most cases, there will be an indication as to where your code can be successfully redeemed. Instructions for redeeming a code on each platform can be found below.

Xbox Console

Some players are encountering an Ashbeard error when trying to sign in to their Microsoft account on the PlayStation5 version of Sea of Thieves. Please run through the troubleshooting steps below to resolve:

REMEMBER! Be mindful that you are using the correct Microsoft account during the linking process, as if you accidentally link the wrong Microsoft account, we are unable to unlink this account.

If you have been recently playing on another platform, such as Xbox or Steam, please wait 10 minutes before launching the PlayStation5 version. This allows our back end services to clear your credentials so that you can log in successfully. Otherwise, please run through the rest of this article.

Press and hold the power button until your console beeps. The screen goes blank, the power indicator flashes white, and then turns off. Remove the power cable and leave the console for 20 minutes. Reconnect the power cable and press the power button to turn on the PlayStation5 console.

REMEMBER!Be mindful that you are using the correct Microsoft account during the linking process, as if you accidentally link the wrong Microsoft account, we are unable to unlink this account.

If you are shown any errors, blocked or blank results for the above tests, please reach out to your ISP as your network may be blocking the necessary connections required to play the game.

Clear local saved data from PlayStation console and relink your Xbox Live account:

***Important - Please ensure that you know the Xbox Live account login details used to link to your PlayStation ID before completing these steps

Some players have reported intermittent stuttering and performance issues since Easy Anti-Cheat was implemented into the game. This issue is happening specifically with PCs that use ASUS motherboards.

After attempting to link your Xbox Live account to your PSN ID, if you receive the Avacadobeard error preventing access into the game, please check that no restrictions have been placed onto either of those accounts preventing online access via the accounts privacy or family settings.

After confirming the above is correctly set for both your audio input / output devices, as well as your Xbox Live account privileges, any crew chat issues should now be resolved. If the issue persists:

As players need to access High Sea's to receive their closed beta rewards, if you do not own a subscription to PlayStationPlus, please use the the 'Raise a Support request' button at the bottom of this article for further assistance.

If you wish to report a player directly to the PlayStation5 enforcement team, or you are receiving forms of toxicity outside of Sea of Thieves such as through the PlayStation5 chat feature, please use the following methods:

When searching for game sessions, players can specify whether they would like to perform cross-platform matchmaking and also those on console can specify if they would prefer to play with other console players using a controller.

As your Sea of Thieves account can now be used on multiple platforms, you may notice that some items will show on one platform while not another. This is due to certain items now being platform exclusive.

Any progress towards a trophy first made on Xbox, Windows, or Steam will not carry over to PlayStation5, therefore the requirements for said trophy need to be met from scratch on PlayStation5. This is due to how trophies are tracked on this platform.

Please ensure that the game is installed on the console's internal drive, as this will eliminate any potential issues caused by external drives. Reinstalling the game may also help, if the above steps do not resolve the issue.

7) Click \"Ok\" and EAC will install for you. You should receive a User Account Control pop up asking to allow it to make changes to you device, if you are not running as admin. You will need to click \"Yes\"

Sea of Thieves is now optimised for Direct3D 12. On most PCs the game will run with the default Direct3D 12, but older hardware may not fully support it and should automatically run with Direct3D 11 instead. If you find you need to manually switch to Direct3D 11, there are three options described below:

Workaround: Please install the game on the console's internal SSD, or an expanded high speed SSD. A standard HDD is no longer compatible with the game on these consoles.

If you have both of these, when you click the \"Link Accounts\" button on the Pirate Perks page, you'll be presented with the following screen asking you to link your Sea of Thieves account, to the Rare Store account. It will look similar to this:

You will notice that some merchandise will require you to have a certain amount of progression in a specific Company. For example, the \"Registry of Goods\" t-shirt will require you to have reached level 50 with the Merchant Alliance. You can see your progress underneath the item's picture. The button will remain locked until you meet that requirement.

Should you wish to order an item once it is unlocked, click the \"Order Now\" button visible beneath the progress bar. You will receive a notice stating you will be leaving the Sea of Thieves website - clicking \"Continue\" will then take you to the Rare Store where you can view pricing, sizes and then complete your order.

When finding a Captain's Logbook, the contents can sometimes appear blurry or washed out. While these water damaged Logbooks are unreadable, this is intended and these affected logbooks are still just as valuable to the Reaper's Bones company once they are handed in!

You'll need to know how to redeem an Xbox code if you've received a gift card, a Game Pass subscription code or been handed a digital game code for a specific game. The idea is that you'll either add funds to your Xbox account for use in purchasing a game in the future, gain access to the Xbox on-demand service or be able to install a set title to your console. In any case, Xbox codes pave the way for exciting content.

You can identify a redeemable code because they are made up of 25 characters split into five equal blocks. This will be the case whether you receive a code written on a physical card or digitally. Once you have one, there are two main methods of redemption. You can enter the code via your Xbox account using a browser on a PC or Mac, or you can enter it directly on your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S. Just be sure you redeem a code to the account you want to use it for on your console.

Note: If you need to check that your Xbox console is registered to this account, click Devices. Once confirmed, you will then need to click the back button on the browser to return to the redeem page.
