Skull and Bones PC Specs and Online Features Revealed

Skull and Bones is sailing to PC (as well as PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and Luna) on November 8, and new details about the PC version have been unveiled, revealing platform-specific features in addition to minimum and recommended specs. Players with the hardware to support it can take advantage of 4K HDR and uncapped framerates as they sail across the Indian Ocean during the Golden Age of Piracy, and can get a panoramic view with Skull and Bones' support for widescreen and multi-monitor setups.

Skull and Bones also supports image upscaling with ray tracing, DLSS, and FSR, and lets players fully customize advanced input settings to suit their control preferences. Ubisoft has revealed online plans for the game as well; Skull and Bones will feature dedicated physical as well as cloud servers across multiple continents, ensuring smooth connectivity even during high activity spikes.

During matchmaking, players will be able to set custom PvP and PvE preferences, get matched with players at similar Infamy levels, and be able to play alongside friends (regardless of Infamy). BattlEye and VMProtect will help weed out cheaters and hackers, and players will be able to report disruptive players, ban them from joining their games, or block communication from them entirely.
