It sounds like you're having trouble joining multiplayer games on Xbox Game Pass for PC. One solution could be to ensure that you have the Xbox app installed on your computer, as it may be required to open the ms-xbl-multiplayer link. You can download the Xbox app from the Microsoft Store.

Additionally, try running the game as an administrator and make sure that the Xbox app and the game you're trying to play are both up to date. If the issue persists, try resetting the Xbox app and the game, or uninstalling and reinstalling them.

Another thing to check is the firewall settings of your computer and make sure it's not blocking the connection, also you can try disabling VPN if you're using one.

It's also possible that the issue may be with the cloud gaming service you're using.

Did you buy Sea of Thieves from Steam? If so, then try using my solution.

Have you checked if your Xbox App is updated?

Press the Start button on the taskbar, type store, and open the Microsoft Store app. Select Library. Under Updates & downloads, check if there are any updates available for the Xbox app or Gaming Services app. If an update is available, select Update.
