Skull and Bones is happening. It’s hard for me to believe. Although Skull and Bones was officially launched in July, there has been a lot of uncertainty and delays that have lingering in my mind. It may not be over until then, but it is there.
We are now one step closer to the release: Ubisoft revealed the Skull and Bones system requirements and PC-specific features, as well as anti-cheat systems.

Skull and Bones PC owners will enjoy unlimited framerates, widescreen and multi-monitor support, customizable controls and adjustable FOV. There is also built-in benchmarking and support for DLSS/FSR and raytraced global illumination. Crossplay support will be available with all platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia.
Skull and Bones is a game that can be played by one person, but it “is best enjoyed with up to two friends” or any other randos on the high seas. The game is fair and fun, no matter what your level. The game will match players based on their PvP preference and infamy levels. There is also a reporting system that allows players to report and block other players for disruptive behavior.
It will also use the popular BattlEye anti cheat software. Ubisoft warned players that they will be banned permanently for the first offense of cheating.
Skull and Bones should be available on November 8, barring any delays, which is always possible.
