Game specifications and features
Live service online game
This game is an online cooperative/competitive adventure work that was officially released in 2018 for Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S/PC.
It operates in a live service format with content added on a seasonal basis. All models support cross-progression, which allows you to play from the middle through an official account. In addition to supporting cross-platform play, a matching function is also available, allowing you to play with Xbox and PC players even on the PS5 version.
Adventure on your own pirate ship
The player controls a pirate they create to their liking. The stage is an open world where other players come and go, and you can explore the vast ocean and land.
From navigating your ship as a pilot or crew member, searching for treasure based on a map, trading and delivering goods, fighting against hostile entities such as sea monsters such as the Kraken and Megalodon, ghosts, and other players, you can also enjoy Disney’s adventures. You can freely enjoy various activities such as “A Pirate’s Life” featuring Jack Sparrow from the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean”, multiple story quests, fishing, etc.
Although it is a cooperative play-oriented work, a private sea area mode without other players will be introduced in 2023 for beginners and solo players. Although there are several restrictions compared to multiplayer areas, you can now play by yourself or invite friends and play freely without interference from others.
Solo mode will be playable without PS Plus
New information when playing this mode alone is that an update scheduled for the end of March will eliminate the need to subscribe to Game Pass Core, which is a multiplayer privilege, on Xbox. On PS, it seems that it will be possible to play alone through this mode without having to subscribe to PlayStation Plus from the beginning.
