People who have been skeptical about Skull and Bones' release may not want to splurge an extra 30 bucks on the Premium Edition. However, the content that comes with it is well worth the $89.99. Firstly, the Premium Edition will give you access to the premium battle pass when the Smuggler Pass is used.

Moreover, the first extra mission, The Ashen Corsair, will unlock the Ashen Followers outfit for your crew once it is completed. The second one, Bloody Bones Legacy, will unlock a cool-looking pet named Death's Hand when you finish it. So, through this edition's extra content, you will also be getting two exclusive rewards.

In our opinion, all this content and the three days of early access are worth the extra thirty bucks. They make the Skull and Bones Premium Edition worth getting.
