Some players are encountering an Ashbeard error when trying to sign in to their Microsoft account on the PlayStation®5 version of Sea of Thieves. Please run through the troubleshooting steps below to resolve:

 

Manually linking accounts through a web browser

  2. Please retry inputting your linking code via this page once you have signed in
  3. If you are still facing issues, please try these steps on a different device
  4. If possible, please also try the above steps using a different internet connection (such as using mobile data instead of your home WiFi)

 

Recently played on another platform

If you have been recently playing on another platform, such as Xbox or Steam, please wait 10 minutes before launching the PlayStation®5 version. This allows our back end services to clear your credentials so that you can log in successfully. Otherwise, please run through the rest of this article.

  2. Sign in using your Microsoft account details
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup of your Xbox account.

If you already see a gamertag and profile picture on the top right of this page, then you have already created an Xbox account.

 

Check the region/country of your Microsoft account.

Confirm that your Microsoft account's region is correctly set to a country which has access to Xbox Live. Click the below link to check if Xbox supports your country/region:
