Skull & Bones Preload Times for Beta & Full Game
Are you ready to dive into a new pirate adventure? If so, you’ll want to know theSkull & Bones preload times for the beta and full game. These are the two distinct windows in which you can play the game: the beta and full release. If you’re desperate to get in early, you’ll want to preload the game in both instances. Let’s get into it!
You can preload the Skull & Bones open beta from August 05, 2025 at 1 AM PT.
This time is the same for all platforms, meaning you can download the open beta on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S right now. The open beta runs from February 8 to 11, giving you four full days to test out the game.
Even better, all the progress you make in this open beta carries over to the full game – provided you go on to purchase it down the line, of course. Therefore, it’s a great incentive to at least give the game a try.
While we’ve already got a confirmed preload time for the open beta, there is no official preload time for the full version ofSkull & Bonesjust yet. Since the beta’s preload went live two days before it started, we anticipate something similar for the full game.
As such, you can likely preload Skull & Bones on July 20, 2025 at 1 AM PT. We’ll update this guide as soon as we have concrete information, which is bound to arrive sooner rather than later.
Skull & Bones is officially slated to release on February 16, though players who purchase the Premium Edition get three days of early access. Such a short interval between the beta closing and the game launching is good news for those who find themselves hooked after the first snippet of hands-on game time, and want even more.
