Skull and Bones isn’t currently set for a Game Pass release. Skull and Bones can be purchased on PC via the Epic Games Store or on Ubisoft Connect, and is included with a Ubisoft+ subscription. The standard version of Skull and Bones will set you back $59.99, with the premium version coming in at $89.99.

Those with a Ubisoft+ subscription will have access to the premium version of Skull and Bones, which gives players three days of early access, and a host of other in-game bonuses, including extra missions, an artbook, and a Smuggler pass token.

PK's extensive knowledge of video games is matched only by his extensive wardrobe of flannel shirts, which he has been curating since he was born, proving he was always meant to be a games journalist.
