Skull and Bones PC requirements: Minimum, recommended & 4K specs

Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones is an action-packed pirate adventure that mainly focuses on warfare. Since it’s packing great graphics, you might be wondering whether your hardware can run it smoothly or not. So here are the minimum and recommended PC requirements for Skull and Bones.

Set in the 17th century, Skull and Bones lets you fulfill your dreams of becoming a pirate but unlike Sea of Thieves or Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Ubisoft’s new title is more about naval warfare than on-foot exploration.

You can not only complete contracts but also build new ships while growing your crew. But all this comes at the cost of increased usage of both CPU and GPU. This begs the question, can your PC run it?

So here are the PC specs for Skull and Bones on high, medium, and 4K presets. 

• Skull and Bones minimum PC requirements
• Skull and Bones recommended PC requirements
• Skull and Bones ultra 4K PC requirements
