Players who were put off Skull and Bones by its Ubisoft Connect and Epic Games Store exclusivity now finally have an opportunity to check it out on Steam and it won't cost a cent. While it may have launched to mixed reviews, that hasn't stopped Ubisoft from pushing Skull and Bones as its next major live-service title, releasing plenty of content updates to continually flesh out the gameplay. One has to imagine that its arrival on Steam will prompt a decent boost in player numbers, so there's never been a better time to take up a pirate's life.
Announced on Steam, Ubisoft confirmed that shortly after Skull and Bones launches on Valve's platform, interested players will be able to check out with a free trial. The game was originally meant to release alongside the aforementioned trial but due to unforeseen circumstances, it's been delayed. The developer insists that it will keep users informed about the state of the trial, noting that it wants to ensure players have "the best possible experience" when it does eventually arrive.
