Sinking feeling
Starting from the 30th May, Skull and Bones is going free for a full week, until the 6th June. Ubisoft's pirate game first launched back in February, but a lukewarm reception immediately put the long-delayed live service title on the back foot.

Skull and Bones, the live service pirate game that released just over two weeks ago on PS5, is already having its price slashed across the US and Europe. It was a full-price title at launch — your now-standard $69.99 / £69.99 — but it's currently down to as low as $44.99 / £49.85 (as reported by VGC). While that's certainly not...

Uh-oh
Despite being delayed six times so far, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot is highly confident in Skull and Bones, so much so that he is tempting fate, invoking the dreaded "AAAA" moniker.
