To invite a friend to join your game in Sea of Thieves on Steam, you will typically do so from the game's lobby after selecting a game mode.
Inviting Friends in the Game Lobby
Inviting friends to your crew in Sea of Thieves is a straightforward process once you are in the right place within the game.
Here are the steps based on the standard in-game interface:
- Start the Game: Launch Sea of Thieves from your Steam library.
- Navigate to the Main Menu: Once the game loads, you will be at the main menu.
- Select Your Game Mode: Choose the desired way you want to play (e.g., Adventure, Safer Seas) and proceed towards setting up your session.
- Enter the Game Lobby: After selecting the mode, you will enter the game lobby screen before sailing out. This is where you manage your crew.
- Find the Invite Option: In the game lobby screen, look at the bottom left corner of your screen.
- Invite Friends: You will see an option labeled Invite Friends.
- You can click on this option directly using your mouse.
- Alternatively, you can press the 1 key on your keyboard, as this is often the shortcut assigned to the "Invite Friends" action in the lobby.
Clicking or pressing the assigned key will open your Steam friends list, allowing you to select the friends you wish to invite to your crew.
Once invited, your friends will receive a notification through Steam, which they can accept to join your game session directly.
