Troubleshooting

How to fix Sea of Thieves not working

Sea of Thieves is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach seaofthieves.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Check the official status page first

    Open the official status page before you change anything on your end. If Rare has the servers down for maintenance or an outage, waiting is the only fix that works, and the banner on this site measures something narrower: whether player reports sit above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours.

  2. Quit the game fully and restart your platform

    Close the game instead of leaving it suspended: on Xbox, press the guide button, highlight the tile, press the Menu button and choose Quit; on PC, end the process from Task Manager if it will not shut down. Then restart the console or reboot the PC, because a stale session with the Xbox network causes failed sign-ins that look exactly like server trouble.

  3. Finish the update and check multiplayer permissions

    If it launches but stops at a connection error such as Cinnamonbeard, you are probably on an older build, so let the console or launcher finish any pending update before trying again. On Xbox, go to Settings > Account > Privacy & online safety > Xbox Live privacy > View details & customize and set 'You can join multiplayer games' to Allow, since a restricted child profile cannot reach the game's servers at all.

  4. Repair the install, then the network

    On Steam, right-click the game in your Library, open Properties > Installed Files and run Verify integrity of game files; on the Microsoft Store or Xbox app version, open Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Gaming Services, then use Repair followed by Reset under Advanced options. If sessions still drop, power cycle the router and move to a wired connection where you can, because wireless packet loss shows up as rubber-banding and mid-voyage disconnects rather than a clean error. The help centre covers account and platform problems this page cannot see.

While Sea of Thieves is down: what to use instead

  • Official status page Check it before you reset anything, because it lists server maintenance and outage notes.
  • Help centre Read it if the game opens but login fails.
  • Twitch Watch a Sea of Thieves stream when you want to see the game but your own session will not connect.
  • Xbox Cloud Gaming Stream a different game when you want to play something while you wait for the service to come back, because it runs from the cloud and works on many devices.

About

What happens when Sea of Thieves goes down

Sea of Thieves is a shared-world pirate adventure for console and PC players who sail and chase loot with friends. A service outage interrupts sign-in and the live sessions that hold a voyage together.

Sign-in and matchmaking usually break first, so you get stuck at the title screen or watch a crew invite expire before the sea loads. If you make it in, sailing can stutter, combat can lag, quest progress may fail to save, and the game can drop you back to the main menu without warning. Partial outages are common. One platform or region can fail while other crews keep sailing, and because the page counts user problem reports in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours instead of probing the game, a quiet status can miss a fault that few players report.

Questions

Sea of Thieves FAQ

Is Sea of Thieves down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether problem reports for the game are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. That is a read on what other players are reporting, and this site does not ping or monitor the servers itself. For an official word, check the Sea of Thieves status page. If your crew is still sailing while you cannot get in, the fault is probably on your side: restart the game, power-cycle the router, and confirm your Microsoft account sign-in.

Why do I get Cinnamonbeard when I try to join my crew?
That error means the game dropped its connection to the server, and joining is when it bites most because your session has to hand off to your crew's ship. Alabasterbeard is a different animal: it usually points at a version mismatch, so let any update finish before you launch. If one person in the crew keeps hitting it while the rest play fine, look at their network or their install rather than the servers.

My friends on Xbox are playing but my Steam copy will not connect.
Both versions sit on the same servers, so a clean split between platforms is unusual; the sign-in is what differs. The Steam build still ties to a Microsoft account, and a stale token there can block you while everyone else sails. Sign out and back in through the Xbox app or your Microsoft account page, then relaunch the game.

I bought Ancient Coins and they have not appeared.
Purchases go through the store you bought from, so Microsoft Store and Steam each handle their own receipts and a delay on one says nothing about the other. Wait a bit, then check you are signed in on the account you bought with, since the coins land on the account rather than the device. If they are still missing, the help centre can trace the order.

Does Safer Seas keep working when High Seas is struggling?
No. Both modes run on the same backend, so an outage takes down a solo sloop along with the crowded servers. Safer Seas strips out other crews; the login and session services behind it stay exactly the same.

How we track Sea of Thieves

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Sea of Thieves, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Sea of Thieves, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Sea of Thieves's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
