Insider Gaming sources have revealed that Skull and Bones, which is dubbed as Ubisoft’s first “AAAA game” by its CEO has less than one million players.

Speaking with sources, the game currently has around 850,000 players at the time of writing, which includes those who have opted to play the game with the eight-hour free trial provided by Ubisoft. At the moment, players are seemingly fairly engaged, with the average player playing between three and four hours a day. However, whether or not that will change once the free trial expires, or if will convert players into full purchases remains to be seen and we won’t likely get the data until the company’s next earnings call (around May 2024).

One major factor in low player numbers has been attributed to the decision to make the game fully priced at $70, a decision that has been criticized both publically and internally, sources said.

“I think we all know this is a $30-$40 game at best, but it’s not in our control to determine those things”,

said one employee who worked on the project.

"Just make samish GaaS barebones contents with roadmaps, outadated in comparison with old games and promises, slap a $70 tag and get ready to be showered with money. Trust me, fishing money was never that easy!"
