To repeat, regardless of whether Sea of Thieves purchased a copy of the game on Xbox One or through the Microsoft Store, a Steam key will not be provided. Rare decided to cover it in a recently released FAQ detailing how the Steam release connects to the other versions of Sea of Thieves. While bringing Sea of Thieves to Steam hasn't stopped Rare from maintaining cross-play across all platforms and storefronts, there is one limitation. Rare's confirmed that no, current Sea of Thieves players will not be getting a free copy of the game on Steam. The game was previously exclusively available on PC through the Microsoft Store, but after two years and the introduction of microtransactions, Rare and Microsoft decided it was time. Sea of Thieves is now available to purchase and play on Steam.
