Hi Tyler, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Tyler, if you are trying to use this game from an Xbox console, I must remind you that the Game Pass Standard subscription does not include the online mode, so having this subscription will allow you to download the game on your console but when you try to use it it will tell you that you must buy Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate.

You can see it clearly from the official link of this game on the store

https://www.xbox.com/games/store/p/9P2N57MC619K...

"The game requires an online multiplayer subscription to play on the console (Game Pass Core or Ultimate, sold separately)."

I see the same link and the same pages. This is indeed tailored to those of us who have already tried Game Pass in the past. It says things like, "Enjoy another 14-day Game Pass trial on us", "So much has changed since you left." and, "Comeback to Game Pass
and play new Xbox exclusives at release, such as State of Decay 2 and Sea of Thieves." When you click on the link, it sends you to the Xbox Game Store and shows you the Xbox Game Pass $9.99 / month. ... There should be an option for "14 day Free Trial Free"
or "1 Month $9.99". This looks like a scam on Xbox's part.

Hello MrKermit,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. Before I try to assist, I do have a few questions.

1) Are you playing Sea of Thieves on PC or Xbox?
2) When you previously played Sea of Thieves, was that also through Game Pass? Or was it purchased elsewhere?

3) When you originally played Sea of Thieves, was it through the same Gamertag that is now an active Game Pass subscriber?

I look forward to your response,

If you're trying to play the Xbox Insider version of Sea of Thieves, then be aware that this was the closed Beta before the game launched.

Unless they added an Insider Version after I checked two days ago, you can't play that version, as the servers don't accept the Sea of Thieves Beta client anymore.

You will have to buy the actual game, or have an active Game Pass subscription to be able to play Sea of Thieves.

No it shows nothing in my purchase history including when I subscribed to the game pass separately before I bought sea of thieves. No purchases show up.
