Yarr might as well try it.
Swashbuckling MMO Pirates of the Burning Sea is now free to play.
There’s no upfront cost and no monthly subscription – the only time money changes hands is if you want to splash out on Treasure Aisle items. That’s the in-game shop, and there you can buy account upgrades, clothing, consumables, missions, pets and ships. There’s a long explanation of the Treasure Aisle and what’s on offer there on the POTBC website.
You can still subscribe to Pirates of the Burning Sea: the Captain’s Club charges $14.99 a month and offers many perks and discounts over the Free Account and Premium Account membership levels. Those three tiers of membership are explained on the game’s website.
