Is Skull and Bones on Game Pass? Exploring options for Microsoft gamers

Wondering if Skull and Bones is on Game Pass? You’ve come to the right place. These days, most Xbox games make it onto Game Pass, the prominent subscription that nearly every gamer has. Many of them make it on there the first day they launch, like Starfield or Palworld. Is this the case for Ubisoft’s new pirates game, Skull and Bones?

Does Game Pass have Skull and Bones?

Skull and Bones is not on Xbox Game Pass. It is available for purchase, so you will have to spend some of your money to play the new hit open-world action RPG. The main reason it’s not on Game Pass Ultimate or any other version is that it’s not an Xbox Exclusive.

Skull and Bones is available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Amazon Luna. That makes it far from an Xbox-only game, which is part of why this game isn’t on the service. You’ll have to spend $60 to craft upgrades, become kingpin of the seas, and live in infamy after naval battles in the latest seafaring game that’s been teased as a spiritual successor to Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.

Will Skull and Bones ever be on Game Pass?

Skull and Bones is not presently on Game Pass, but that doesn’t mean it won’t ever be. This vast open world might land there eventually, as many games do. Even those that aren’t Xbox exclusives make it. Madden 23, NBA 2K23, Resident Evil 2, Among Us and others are on the Microsoft service even though they’re also on other platforms.

The best estimates suggest that this pirate game won’t be available on this service for another year or so. This is speculation, though, as neither Ubisoft or Xbox has confirmed a timeline of any sorts.

Is Skull and Bones on Ubisoft Plus?

While it’s not available on Xbox Game Pass, Skull and Bones is on Ubisoft Plus. This is a different subscription option that gamers can make use of to get the title and many other from the same developers for a lower price.

Zach’s Tips

Ubisoft Plus is not as accessible as Xbox Games Pass and it’s not as widely known about, but it is a worthwhile cost to pay for getting access to a lot of games, including ones that are on launch day!

If you do subscribe, you will have access to Skull and Bones immediately. With a Ubisoft account, you also get access to Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Far Cry 6, and so many more. You don’t necessarily need a Microsoft account to subscribe to this.

With a premium subscription, you will pay $17.99 a month to be able to engage with the best of Ubisoft’s extensive library. There is a base-level subscription for $7.99 a month that comes with fewer rewards. Pirate the lawless seas on different ships now!

That’s all for Skull and Bones’ Game Pass status, but don’t miss out on how to get Casting Sand, the crowbar, and bog iron!
