Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia? We've got loads more PC Gamer quizzes, on everything from healthbars to weird currencies to absurd patch notes.

Indie survival game Windrose is one of the biggest hits of 2026. Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is getting a full-on remake. A sweet-looking pirate-themed city builder has just been announced. Are we sailing into a golden age of pirate games?

Let's find out! It's a short quiz—I'll be honest, there aren't really enough notable pirate games to fill the hold of a sloop, but if you've walked the plank in a few pirate games over the years, I think you'll do fine. Be sure to let us know how you did in the comments.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
