"Microsoft, Gaming and Libations" is a live show hosted on Microsoft's streaming network, Mixer, featuring Jez Corden, Zac Bowden, Daniel Rubino and Matt Brown from Windows Central. This week, we'll be playing the Sea of Thieves beta, while giving away keys to play for yourself!
Our MGL live streams take place every week on Thursdays, at 4 PM ET (1 PM PT, 9 PM GMT). You can find the start time based on your location and time zone in our event announcer.

Sea of Thieves is set to make its Xbox One and Windows 10 debut on March 20, with its closed beta currently underway. We'll be conquering the seven seas while providing you with the chance to play too!
- We use a raffle system to make sure we're giving keys to people who aren't AFK.
- You must be following the channel to be eligible. The raffle will ignore users who aren't following.
- We give out keys throughout or at the end of the stream.
For now, all you need to do is head to our Mixer channel at Mixer.com/windowscentral and follow! When the stream begins, jump in on the live chat.
We'll also field some questions from the audience, so, even if you already subscribe to the service, sign up for Mixer and come pester us about the Surface Phone! For those curious, we're aiming for a 90-minute air time, but honestly, we have no idea how long it will go. So grab a drink and join in on the fun to find out!
