Xbox One News: Join the Exclusive 'Sea of Thieves' Alpha Test Game; More Invites to Roll Out This Week

This coming weekend, the gaming community will get a chance to dig deeper into "Sea of Thieves." The Xbox One title will feature an alpha test game that players can engage themselves in. Get all the details here.

Rare Announces Big Event

According to Dual Shockers, a new alpha test session has been announced by Rare. The test game will be held especially for "Sea of Thieves." Some players may have received invites to the session while others may still be waiting on their e-mails. The big twist is, players who are under the Insider Programme of Xbox One are the only ones who will receive invites.

The alpha test session for "Sea of Thieves" will kick off this weekend. Fans who have not received any invites yet should stay tuned. Rare said invites will be sent out to fans of the upcoming Xbox One game all throughout the week.

What's in for Fans?

For starters, the Insider Programme is only open for gamers who are 18 years of age and older. An Xbox Live account is also a pre-requisite for those who want to be part of the program. Signing up for an account won't take long. Once an account is made, players can dig into the progress that "Sea of Thieves" is making.

The biggest surprise that Insider Programme members have is the chance to be part of the development for "Sea of Thieves." The Xbox One game will allow for fans to share their insights and comments through surveys. Fans will also be gifted with access to the game's early versions - something that non-members apparently will not experience.

What Makes the Title Special

"Sea of Thieves" is being developed for the Xbox One and PC. Rare is behind the development of the title, the same company that delivered "Killer Instinct" and "Banjo-Kazooie." The game is among the most anticipated action-adventure titles that is slated for release this year.

According to the game's official website, "Sea of Thieves" will allow fans to become the pirates that they want to be. It will also feature multiplayer modes for those who prefer playing with team mates. Exciting journeys are also up for adventurous Xbox One and PC gamers who want to search for hidden treasures.
