For those of you wondering whether Ubisoft\u2019s upcoming action-adventure title\u2014based on maritime piracy\u2014will be available in early access, everything you need to know is right here. Will Skull and Bones be available in early access?\u00a0 Skull and Bones will be released in early access for players who\u2019d love to experience the game as soon as possible thanks to a perk included in its Premium Edition and Ubisoft+. Those who purchase the Premium version of the title or subscribe to Ubisoft\u2019s cloud gaming service will be eligible for up to three days of early access. For those of you wondering, Skull and Bones\u2019 Premium Edition is priced at $89.99 USD and is currently available to pre-order. If you want to choose the Ubisoft+ route instead, the subscription is available at $14.99 per month.\u00a0 When is Skull and Bones\u2019 early access scheduled? Ubisoft is yet to announce the early access date and time for Skull and Bones, but we can take an educated guess for now.\u00a0 The official release is slated for Feb. 16, 2024, and considering the three-day window that has been promised, eligible players can expect the early access to begin three days before the launch, possibly on Feb. 13.\u00a0We\u2019ll update this article when Ubisoft releases more information.\u00a0 What is the closed beta for Skull and Bones and how to participate?\u00a0 According to Ubisoft\u2019s announcement, Skull and Bones will enter a closed beta test phase on Dec. 15, allowing players across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 to step into the shoes of a pirate kingpin for a limited time before the official launch. The closed beta test will end on Dec. 18 but will allow only six hours of total playtime for each participant. Note that the closed beta is based on invitations only. You can only join the test if Ubisoft sends you an invitation after you register, but if you are invited, you can invite two of your friends to join too.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to purchase a copy of Skull and Bones to be eligible for the closed beta test\u2014it\u2019s not the same as early access.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/SB-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060449"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1060449"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1061346,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060449\/revisions\/1061346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1060458"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1060449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1060449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1060449"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1060449"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1060449"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1060449"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1060449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
