To celebrate the arrival of the Galleon in Year 3 Season 1, we're inviting all Captains to showcase it in all its glory using Photo Mode. Capture the Galleon in action: in battle, fighting the Sea Monster, at anchor, cutting through a storm, or silhouetted at sunset. The Indian Ocean is your stage.
Follow these steps to submit your entry:
Take an epic screenshot of the Galleon using the in-game Photo Mode with the UI hidden. Screenshots can be captured in Steam at any time using the F12 key.
Open Steam and go to View → Recordings & Screenshots to find your captured screenshots.
Select the screenshot you would like to submit, click "Share" → "Share on Steam".
Post your screenshot to the Skull and Bones Steam Community Hub Screenshots section using the tag #Galleon. Set visibility to Public and do not mark it as a spoiler.
All entries must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
The Galleon ship must be clearly visible and the primary subject of the photograph.
The screenshot must be taken using the in-game Photo Mode only. External photo-editing software (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) is not permitted.
Minimum resolution: 1920 × 1080 pixels. Higher resolutions are encouraged.
The in-game HUD and UI must be hidden when capturing the shot (disable via Photo Mode settings).
Each participant may submit one (1) entry only. Multiple submissions from the same account will result in disqualification.
Submissions must be your own original work. Entries using other players' screenshots will be disqualified.
No AI-generated imagery or AI-enhanced post-processing. The shot must be captured authentically in-game.
Content must be appropriate for all audiences. Submissions containing offensive, hateful, or inappropriate content will be removed and disqualified.
Note: Please save a full-resolution copy of your original screenshot. Winners may be asked to provide it for verification.
