Is Skull and Bones down? Skull and Bones server status and maintenance

Skull and Bones is the latest offering from Ubisoft and sees you fulfill your dream of becoming a pirate. One problem: I don’t think pirates back in the day ever had server connectivity issues.

From time to time, necessary maintenance will be conducted on Skull and Bones and, as such, any attempts to log in will be met with disconnection errors. There may even be unplanned outages where you won’t be able to connect to the servers.

Here’s how to check whether Skull and Bones is down, and when you can expect the game to be up and running again.

Is the Skull and Bones server down?

No, Skull and Bones servers are not down. With the start of the game’s early access on Feb. 13, the servers are open for all players who pre-ordered the Premium edition or are playing through Ubisoft Plus.

bUT since the early access just started and there’s a full release of the game coming on Friday, Feb. 16, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the servers acted up throughout the week. Players on Discord have also reported connection issues, so it’s worth keeping an eye out on the Skull and Bones server status for any updates.

How do you check Skull and Bones‘ server status?

For those wondering where to check to confirm if the Skull and Bones servers are undergoing scheduled maintenance or an unscheduled outage is occurring, your best bet is to hit up the game’s X (formerly Twitter) account. The Ubisoft team keeps the player base up to date with any changes or updates to Skull and Bones there.

You can also join the official Skull and Bones Discord server, which includes an announcements channel the team will use for emergency server notifications. It’s also a great place to meet the rest of the Skull and Bones community and is often the first location where devs will inform fans of any changes to the game.

Once the game fully releases on Feb. 16, Ubisoft may bring online servers down for a time for scheduled maintenance or bug fixes. It’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to log in during this time, but you will be able to confirm whether your connection issues are server-sided by checking the above social media platforms.

If all seems clear, it’s more than likely an issue on your end.
