You lost your ship, your crew and your life. You are offered a contract to fight and rob the Evil Trade Empire for a chance at redemption.

Now you must prove yourself worthy in Pirate Purgatory. Skeleton Crew is a solo or two-player co-op game of pirate heists.

Complete daring missions with your own crew of skeletons — and a friend, if you want to bring one. Fill your hoard with the Trophies you recover.

Full-Body Physicality & Improvised Combat Your pirate is a physical body in the world — climb, swing, and feel the recoil of every shot. Out of bullets? Smash your enemies with the butt of your pistol – until it breaks.

Two-Player Online Co-Op Go in solo or drag your best friend into the afterlife with you. Two players by invite only.

A Crew of Your Own Your gun crew is a pack of skeletons. Put them on the cannons, line up the shot yourself, and give the word.

A Target, No Fixed Route Some missions want treasure. Some want a ship caught at sea. How you get there is your problem.

Ready to fill your Hoard?

Early Access — What You're Signing Up For

Launching with the tutorial, the home base Hoard, 3 full missions and a bonus level — with full online two player co-op from day one. More missions, weapons, and chaos are on the way.

Invite only, no public lobbies. Just you, a bunch of brainless skeletons and maybe your friend.

Best pirate game of 2026?!?!?

Look not gonna lie, it needs lots of work. However im really liking the physics. I like the feel and art style, the grapple ring is nice. But ya need a jump button, 😆. It's a early game with boat-loads of potential. The sword fights are fun and kinda wonky at times. With more content, some lore and QoL tweaks could really set this game apart from other Pirate games! (Need in game) Run gester to move quick, surface climbing, Coat glider, Maps attach back to coat , climbing obstacles- games- glider challenges- at a Pirate tavern compound hub! Great work 👏

Fun but how do you get coop

Fun game but no matter if I press single-player or co-op it seems the same? How do you get another player in the game?

This has good bones..

I went in expecting another sea of thieves/sail game, and I’m so glad I was wrong, this game gives you a moderately sized location to sail across, npc crew which are simple but effective, the islands and forts that you will explore are well designed with little secrets sprinkled everywhere, and a physics based combat system, and now is where I stop licking bootstraps bootstraps, this IS EARLY ACCESS so the content is rather short right now but I have faith this might go places, please don’t become another multiplayer pirate game that gets infested by brain rotted children I’m praying to calypso that you heed my words, this is a good pirate game… and hopefully one day?.. it will be a great one

So much FUN!

This is the easy-to-drop in for adventure pirate game in vr I’ve been waiting for! Having so much playing this with my son! Going hunting for other pirate ships is fun, funny, erratic, and rewarding when you successfully take one over! Can’t wait for more!!

Absolutely great game. Water and collision physics are great. Fighting the Other pirates are challenging and fun. Although 11 dollars is a lot for the game
