<p>Sign-ups for Sea of Thieves&#8217; Technical Alpha will end next week on December 1.</p>
<p>As detailed by Rare in a post on <a href="http://ift.tt/2iHYPW2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Xbox Wire</a>, players will have until December 1 to join the <a href="http://ift.tt/2fr9Mdo" target="_blank">Insider Programme</a> and be invited to the game&#8217;s next play session, which Rare promises will be the &#8220;biggest and best yet.&#8221;</p>
<p class="aligncenter">
