A pirate survival sandbox from the makers of ARK: build ships, gather a crew, claim islands and fight at sea.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 8 players on PC.
- Each player online needs their own copy.
How it plays
A company of friends shares ships, bases and chores, and the bigger ships need several people to sail them and man the guns.
Survival needs and slow progress make it a long-haul game.
It is still in early access with no updates since mid-2023, so a group may prefer a private session of up to eight or its own server.
Each player needs a copy.
