Many PS5 players are getting the Sea of Thieves Kiwibeard error and need a fix. This is rather annoying, what happens here is when you start the game it tries to log you in and after a few seconds you are hit with this error that says “Sea of Thieves is currently down for maintenance. Please try again later. (Kiwibeard)”. To make things worse this seems to be a platform-specific issue because Xbox players haven’t reported any such problem. Luckily, there is a workaround that can help you out.
