Changing your pirate name in Skull and Bones
Directly renaming your pirate in Skull and Bones isn’t an option. The game developers at Ubisoft have chosen not to allow players to change their names at will within the game. But don’t lose hope just yet.
How to change your Ubisoft username to change your pirate name
Your pirate’s name in Skull and Bones is linked to your Ubisoft account. To change your in-game name, you’ll need to update your Ubisoft username. If your Ubisoft account is connected to your Skull and Bones profile, a change in your Ubisoft username will reflect in your pirate name as well. Follow the steps below to update your Ubisoft account username:
- Visit the Ubisoft Connect website
- Log in by clicking the Login button at the top right of the page
- Navigate to the Account Information tab
- Click the Pen icon next to your current username
- Enter your desired new username in the pop-up textbox
- Ensure your new username complies with the Ubisoft Terms of Use
- Click “Change” to confirm your new username
Following your username change, a confirmation email will be sent to the email linked with your Ubisoft account. If you don’t receive this email, check for errors or verify the email address associated with your account under the Account Information section.
Remember, your Ubisoft username can be changed once every 30 days, so choose your new name wisely. After updating your username, log into Skull and Bones to see your pirate name updated to your new choice.
