Sea of Thieves Xbox or Steam?

I no longer have Steam on my computer and I got a refund for Sea of Thieves from Steam so it's not even in my Library. I also uninstalled the Steam version of Sea of Thieves from my computer.

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.

Yes, I can play both Microsoft and non-Microsoft games, but not in the sea of ​​thieves. And maybe it will be important, sea of ​​thieves is installed on Steam

I don't have Steam anymore. When I posted my initial question, I stated that I had the Steam version but after having the problem, I got refunded for the Steam version of Sea of Thieves and proceeded to uninstall the Sea of Thieves version and I also uninstalled Steam. I have uninstalled the Microsoft version of Sea of Thieves twice and have reinstalled it twice. I have completely uninstalled the Xbox Game Bar with Powershell and then I reinstalled it. The game bar connects to the Xbox Live servers and I receive the invites through the Game Bar but it doesn't trigger the game to start when I click ACCEPT. Just to reiterate, Steam is no longer on my computer.

Hi kntrk,

Thank you for your post. I understand you are experiencing an issue with playing Sea of Thieves you obtained via Game Pass for PC through Steam. In order to play Sea of Thieves, it must be launched through the Xbox App. Despite it being apart from Steam,
you still have the ability to play with those who have purchased it on Steam.

I hope this helps!
