Skull and Bones size

The developer has stated that you will need 65GB of space available but that you must be using an SSD.

Skull and Bones review

Despite 11 years of development, it would seem that Skull and Bones has not wowed audiences as Ubisoft may have hoped. Garnering just 64 from critics on Metacritic, and a below average score from viewers, it's no surprise that PCGamesN's Skull and Bones review scored the game a 4 out of 10. In their review, PCGamesN stated that the game fell flat in many areas. Unfortunately, for now at least, you might enjoy a better pirate experience in the inspiration behind Skull and Bones by trying the Assassin's Creed Black Flag system requirements.

Skull & Bones will run on PC system with Windows 10 64-bit and upwards.
