After years of delays, Ubisoft finally delivered Skull & Bones to the world just over a month ago. The game released to somewhat disappointing reviews (a 63 on Metacritic for Xbox), but we also saw plenty of positivity from its playerbase.
And then... nothing. From our perspective at least, it feels like Skull & Bones has very much blended into the background over the past few weeks, quietly sailing along without any real fanfare or criticism directed towards it.
Taking a look at the game's Reddit community, it's still pretty active and has plenty of feedback being shared by its fans, and don't forget that Ubisoft apparently achieved "record player engagement" with Skull & Bones at launch, so it's clearly not dead in the water. That said, we haven't seen it in the "Top Paid" Xbox charts for quite some time.
So, we're very interested to know what Skull & Bones players currently think about the state of the game in late March 2024. Is it an underrated gem that deserves more love, or do you think it'll be walking the plank before long?

Got to hope those 12 players come and vote!
As for me won’t be playing
The very beginning of the game before you get your first ship with cannons is rather dry and can come off unpolished. I'm on my second cannon ship now though and loving it, especially when playing co-op with my friends. It has a great option for choosing PvE or PvPvE that I think far more games should adopt. This is my go to game.
This will come to Gamepass once UbiSoft milks the udders dry from the FOMO gamers….
Was excited for it at first but after all the delays and changing the game from what it originally was to what it is now killed my interest in it.
Absolutely love it. My fave goto game atm. Currently lvl Kingpin 28 in my Sambka Firestarter. There's still a very high player engagement and teaming up is real easy and fun. They also added some QoL updates and PvP toggle.
The islands and dens in this game look truly beautiful too. Each one is carefully crafted. No proc-gen here.
@CaptnDave yeah it's a great game imo. Loving it too. The game really starts to open up when you get your factories producing and running the rogue gauntlet making illegal deliveries.
No spoilers but advice, save up your gold sovereigns and buy the Sambka ship asap. It's not available until you've progressed into the game awhile.
Also ... don't try killing a sea monster solo lol, found out the hard way.
Sees you on the high seas me matey. Ahoy!
Game looks great and the naval combat is top-notch. It's just really grindy with very little content.
It should have been F2P.
@jedinite Thanks for the tips I'll be setting sail again tonight with my mates and maybe we'll take on that sea monster. Hope you have a great weekend too!
