Is Skull and Bones Available on Xbox Game Pass?

If you’re hoping to embark on the High Seas for free, you may be out of luck — Skull and Bones is not included with any tier of Xbox Game Pass. However, if you’re eager to give this one a whirl, there is a way that you can make it happen. You’ll need to sign up for either a free trial of Ubisoft + or subscribe to it alongside your Xbox Game Pass subscription. If you’re subscribed to PlayStation + Extra or Premium, Ubisoft + is also included as part of your subscription.

Since Ubisoft + does include access to other Ubisoft games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, it could be the perfect time to check out some of their more recent games and see if you’re willing to purchase at full price. Since Skull and Bones offers a grandiose seafaring adventure for you and your friends, this could be the cheapest way to get everyone involved, since Ubisoft + only costs $17.99 per month compared to the upfront purchase price of $69.99 for just this particular title.

While it would be great if Ubisoft + was included with Xbox Game Pass, we can still find ways to get into some shenanigans for a cheaper-than-expected price. There are still plenty of fantastic games in the Xbox Game Pass catalog, including Sea of Thieves for those looking for an alternate pirate experience.
