Sea of thieves (xbox live on PC / steam) two accounts and can not access the original account

Hello, EddieRaymond. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Can you give me more information so I can better understand your issue?

So you have two Microsoft/Xbox accounts or do you have two Steam accounts?

How did you create a new account with the same email address as an old account? This was for Steam or Xbox?

Waiting for your reply, my friend.

Hi Grizzgolf,

Right now you can play Xbox games via Window 10 on your pc. As long as the game is a play any where title like "Sea of Thieves" you can play it on your PC.

Now if your using Steam>>>you have to purchase games and have a Steam account with them. You cant play Steam games on Xbox Live and you cant play Xbox Live games via Steam.

Sea of thieves decided to uninstall itself for some reason over night, making it so that I cant play Sea of Thieves today due to the long download time.

If I buy Sea of Thieves on Steam, can I play with the same account as on the xbox app version? That way I wont need to deal with the Xbox app or its version of Sea of Thieves.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

You can try these steps to log in to Sea of Thieves from steam.

When you launch "Sea of Thieves" through Steam, you need to link an Xbox Live account to your Steam profile before you can enter the game. Here are the steps required to link and unlink your Xbox Live account when needed.

Please note - Your game progress has been linked to your Xbox Live account. Therefore, the progress made and projects obtained using this account on other platforms will also be obtained through Steam. However, if you unlink this account and use another account, you will no longer be able to access the original account progress or projects until you re-link to the account.

When you first launch "Sea of Thieves" and enter the "Start Game" screen, the "Sign in to Xbox Live" dialog box will appear when you attempt to pass through the screen.





"After clicking Sign In, you will be prompted to enter your Xbox Live account details.". After entering the login details and password, the following screen will be displayed.





Pressing "Let's Play Together" will open a Steam link prompt and display a browser window asking you to confirm whether the linked account is correct and whether you want to continue.

Selecting "Yes, Link Account" will confirm that you want to link your Xbox Live account and Steam profile. "If the linked account is incorrect, click Shift+Tab to close the Steam prompt, and then from the main menu, click Log Off at the bottom of the screen or press the X key.". After logging out, you will return to the "Start Game" screen, where you can perform this process again.
