After several delays, Skull and Bones has now launched, bringing its anticipated pirate battles to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms for you to either embark on an exciting pirate adventure solo or in co-op with friends.

Skull and Bones may not be coming to Xbox Game Pass but you’ll still need it to play on Xbox.

Unfortunately no, Skull and Bones has not arrived to Xbox Game Pass during its initial release on February 16. Instead, Xbox players will have to purchase the base game or one of its editions to gain access.

That being said, while you can’t get the game on the service, you will need to have Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate to play Skull and Bones due to its online focus – so your subscription will still come in handy.

While the game isn’t coming to Xbox Game Pass at the time of its release, there’s no saying that it won’t eventually come onto the service later down the line. If it does, we’ll be updating this article, so be sure to check back soon for more information.
