Sea of Thieves‘ next open beta has been detailed by developer Rare.

Those who signed up to Sea of Thieves‘ Insider Program ahead of 1 December 2017 will gain access to the open beta. It runs for five days, starting at 11.00 pm AEDT on 24 January and running through until 7.00 pm AEDT on 29 January.

Best yet, the open beta doesn’t have any NDA elements, meaning players can stream their gameplay throughout the week.

Rare didn’t detail what would be included in the beta, instead saying it will be “a true taste of what Sea of Thieves has to offer.”

Sea of Thieves heads to Windows PC and Xbox One as an Xbox Play Anywhere title on 20 March.
