How to run Sea of Thieves: Safer Seas on Mac with Xbox Cloud Gaming

Good· Streaming

Streaming Sea of Thieves: Safer Seas through Xbox Cloud Gaming is the fastest way to start playing on a Mac — there's nothing to install, no Windows VM, no compatibility layer. The game runs on a remote GPU and your Mac just receives the video, which means even a base M1 MacBook Air can play the most demanding AAA titles at high settings. The tradeoff is that you need a stable internet connection (ideally wired or 5GHz Wi-Fi with 25+ Mbps down) and a subscription.

Step-by-step

  1. Get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
  2. Open xbox.com/play in Safari, Chrome, or Edge.
