Highlights
- Skull And Bones is on sale again, this time all the best way all the way down to $10.
- The pirate game has had its price slashed at Best Buy, however the deal will only be live for today.
- Though the $70 game was only released six months ago, it has been on sale quite a bit.
Each time I write about Skull And Bones being on sale (and it has been quite a bit) I note that considering the time it took to develop and the cash Ubisoft must make back from it, it’s unlikely the sport can be this low-cost again until its creators finally cave and make it free-to-play. Lower than per week ago, I allow you to all know that the live service pirate game was all the way down to $14.99 and I made that exact point about it being unlikely it’ll ever be available for less until it’s free. Seems I used to be improper again as right away, six days later, you may get it for $10.
Apologies to those of you who pulled the trigger when it was $14.99, and an enormous congratulations to those of you who held firm and may now pick up Skull And Bones for $10. To those of you waiting for it to get even cheaper, hey, more power to you. I’m not going to say that is the most cost effective the sport can be until it’s free this time because if I do, I do know I’ll just be back in here in per week writing about Skull And Bones being all the way down to $7.99 on Amazon.
There may be a catch to Skull And Bones being $10 on Best Buy, nevertheless it won’t affect you so long as you are reading this text on the day it was written. The huge price reduction is a one-day-only deal running until 1 am EST on Monday, August 12. After that, the sport will return to full price, which is shockingly still $70. The deal applies to each the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the sport, just make sure that you have got the best platform chosen before you add the sport to your cart.
It Won’t Be On Sale For Less Than Is, It Cannot Be, There’s No Way
Skull And Bones bumped into so many problems and delays during its decade-long development, it was somewhat surprising that the sport ever managed to see the sunshine of day. The video game landscape went through some huge shifts during that development time which meant by the point it launched just six months ago, the ask for people to pay $70 for a live service version of the sailing bits from Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag wasn’t a sensible one.
The difficulty is, the amount of cash that has been pumped into Skull & Bones, making it free-to-play wasn’t an option. While Ubisoft games often go on sale just a few months after they’re released, I do not recall ever seeing something as extreme as this. A $70 that is only six months old available for $15 after which $10 in a single week. There is not any firm data on what number of copies have been sold. All we all know is that the sport did not amass one million players in its first month.
