Wondering whether Sea of Thieves is currently down? If you’ve recently had issues with the live service game, stick around for updates regarding its server status.
Sea of Thieves is a huge live service game with a sea of loyal players and tons of regularly introduced content to keep things interesting. Developed by Rare, the game has been hailed as a masterclass of sorts in the live service model, remaining true to what games as a service aim to accomplish. Of course, it’s not always smooth sailing. As with any game title that offers an online experience, you can expect to encounter rough waters from time to time. Sea of Thieves has seen some difficulties as of late, so here’s what we know about the current server status.
Are Sea of Thieves Servers Down?
At the time of writing, Sea of Thieves is up and running as expected, according to a game status posted today, July 24. The team notes that allegiance may appear lost in your pirate log for the time being. However, you can rest assured your progress is safe, and you may play the game as usual.
It appears servers went down for maintenance on July 20, updating the title as needed. Moreover, Sea of Thieves has experienced numerous beard errors this month, which have affected the following beards since July 4:
- Alabasterbeard
- Llamabeard
- Hazelnutbeard
- Almondbeard
- Vicunabeard
- Longbeard
- Granitebeard
Now that Sea of Thieves servers are working just fine, you should have no problem hopping back into the game to captain your ship across the seven seas. Those who do continue to experience errors in the game should first ensure that they’re playing an updated version. While Sea of Thieves typically updates automatically, you may complete the process manually and update your PC or Xbox to cover all bases. This should resolve any remaining issues with running the game.
