Unfortunately for Xbox fans, Skull and Bones is not available on Xbox Game Pass. However, you can still play the game if you play through the Ubisoft Plus subscription for $17.99 a month.

The subscription is available on Xbox and PC and with it, you will gain access to the vast library of Ubisoft games, including new releases. It’s not the worst deal to try out Skull and Bones, but keep in mind you’ll end up needing two active subscriptions: Xbox Game Pass (as it’s an online-only game) and Ubisoft Plus.

Alternatively, you can buy the Premium Edition of Skull and Bones for $89.99, especially if there are no other games you plan on playing in the upcoming months.

What is included in the Skull and Bones Premium Edition? 

The Premium Edition of Skull and Bones’ big appeal was the three-day early access feature. When you purchased the Premium Edition you also got a bonus pack that included a Ballad of Bloody Bones Collection (outfit and Ashen Corsair ship), two extra missions, a digital art book and soundtrack, and a Smuggler Pass Token that unlocks the first premium battle pass.
