About half a year after its release, Ubisoft's open-world naval combat RPG "Black Sails" has undergone a permanent price reduction on the Steam platform.

After this permanent drop, the price in China is the lowest in the world.The standard version of the game has been reduced from the original 198 yuan to 128 yuan; the deluxe version has been reduced from 248 yuan to 168 yuan; and the advanced version has been reduced from 348 yuan to 248 yuan.This move is widely seen as a strategy adopted by Ubisoft to boost sales and player appeal in the late stages of the game's release.

"Blue Sea and Black Sails" will be released on August 23, 2024. Before its release, it was called a "4A-level masterpiece" by the president of Ubisoft.However, the market response after the game was launched did not meet this expectation.

Currently, the game's reviews on the Steam platform are "mixed", with a favorable rating of only 48% in China and an overall favorable rating of 66% globally.This price adjustment may be aimed at attracting new players who are price-sensitive.
