What to check before starting
- Use the current official trial page for the platform and region you intend to use.
- Confirm whether the account, launcher and online requirements match your setup.
- Treat progress carry-over as a dated access rule, not a guarantee across every platform or account state.
- For hardware, use the dedicated Skull and Bones PC requirements page.

Current trial terms
The official Epic and Ubisoft trial pages should be read as the current source for duration, platform access, and carry-over wording. Treat the trial as limited access to the online pirate action game, not as permanent free-to-play access. Duration, account requirements, regional availability, and what carries into continued access can change, so confirm the live terms immediately before starting.
Separate three questions. First, how long does the current trial allow play? Second, which platform and account path does the official source describe? Third, what progress or unlock context does the source explicitly say can carry over? Do not turn a trial statement into a price claim, a full-access promise, or a claim that all content is free.
Trial is not permanent free access
Use the trial to check whether ship-first combat, online sessions, and the current service format fit your expectations. Keep solo/co-op, crossplay, ship types, weapons, World Tiers, Helm, and seasonal mastery as separate questions. If the official page is silent on a detail, mark it UNKNOWN. Recheck after a trial-policy, platform, account, or carry-over update.
