Is Skull and Bones coming to PS4?

Skull and Bones is set to launch on select platforms in the current generation. Ubisoft has been a major backer of the PS4, which is a massive success even 10 years after its release. Assassin's Creed Mirage, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, Far Cry 6, and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown are just a few of the excellent games that the studio has dropped on the platform.

It is no wonder that Ubisoft's fans are curious about which of its next titles will be available on the PlayStation console.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Skull and Bones will not launch on the PlayStation 4. The game will only be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

Why won't the PlayStation 4 get the title? Well, that's because the PlayStation console of the next generation, which offers significantly better performance and visuals, is already available, and the title is meant for current-gen consoles.

Based on the most recent version of Ubisoft's Anvil Engine, the developer's upcoming pirate simulator offers a large and rich open world. Since this title is dedicated to current-generation platforms, the PlayStation 4's older AMD "Jaguar" processor might not be able to keep up.

While enthusiasts appreciate the PlayStation 4, the machine is nearing the end of its productive lifespan. Although the next-generation system is unquestionably several generations more powerful than the previous PlayStation, it is unclear if it will be able to meet the technological demands of the next-gen games.
