When are the servers back on ps5

My NAT type is type 2, i have no problems with other games and I deleted it and reinstalled it up to 4 times and it still wouldn't work

Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. I'm Aileen, and I'm here to provide you with advice as an independent advisor.

The “StrawberryBeard” error usually isn’t caused by actual server downtime. It means Sea of Thieves can’t connect to the servers, but the problem is almost always on the local device, network, or account side. The servers are currently online for all platforms, including PS5.

Here’s what I recommend trying:

Check the Sea of Thieves server status page

Visit: https://www.seaofthieves.com/status

If there’s a real outage, it’ll be posted there. As of now, no widespread PS5 outages have been reported.

Test your internet and NAT type on PS5

Go to Settings > Network > Test Internet Connection

Sea of Thieves needs an open or moderate NAT. If it's strict or if there's a DNS error, you might see StrawberryBeard every time.

Use a different network or hotspot temporarily

This helps rule out a router or ISP issue. Some home networks block the ports Sea of Thieves needs.

Reinstall the game

Fully uninstall, reboot your PS5, and reinstall Sea of Thieves. This resets any local file or cache issues.

Make sure you’re signing in with a Microsoft account

Sea of Thieves on PS5 still needs an Xbox/Microsoft account to play online. If login fails at that step, it can also trigger this error.

If you've tried all this and it still doesn’t work, let me know your NAT type and if any other games are having connection issues.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

as you are signing into a Microsoft account and accessing Xbox servers, you need to have these ports open

Hi Nicholas Smith6!

As I have checked on the Xbox Live Status page, everything is all up and running which means that we just need to perform troubleshooting steps.

Your console may have been corrupted which is why you're experiencing the issue. I have here steps that we can try, please perform a power cycle on your console by following the steps below:



POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

​​​

"1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​"



If that doesn't work resetting the console keeping games and apps will be the next option. Don't worry because as long as you're connected to Xbox Live your saved progress, games, will not be deleted. It will remove all of your accounts but you can add all of them later on.



"Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

Select Profile & System> Settings > System > Console info.

Select Reset console.

Reset and keep my games & apps."
