Avast, me hearties. Ubisoft isn’t pulling any punches with the PC version of its upcoming pirate ship game Skull And Bones.
If you have a beefy PC, you can expect Skull And Bones to be able to push it hard. The game not only goes up to 4K resolution but supports a slew of PC features including:
- Ray tracing (global illumination)
- HDR
- Uncapped FPS
- Multi-monitor support
- Ultrawide support
- Nvidia DLSS
- AMD FSR
- Uncapped FPS
- Advanced input settings
- In-Game Benchmark

As you can see, Skull And Bones demands a good GPU to really play at high settings, but it’s scalable enough to be able to run on older setups that are still using the tried and true GTX 1060 graphics card.
Also, Skull And Bones will have dedicated game servers hosted in North and South America, Europe, Asia, South Africa, and Oceania. There’s a matchmaking system for the PVP aspect of the game, and you can report or block players. The game also requires the use of battlEye anti-cheat monitor system and VMProtect anti-crack.
Ubisoft sure doesn’t want folks to pirate their pirate game, which is fair as long as it doesn’t impact the paying player’s experience.
Skull And Bones will be out on PS5, PC (Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Store) and Xbox Series X|S.
