Sea of Thieves is being developed for both the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs and will support Xbox Play Anywhere, but be aware that this new alpha play session will be for console players only. “We’ll have a PC Update for Insiders soon,” explained Rare in another tweet.

Hi David. Yes, this coming Technical Alpha play session will be on Xbox, but we'll have a PC update for Insiders soon!
