BattleCrew: Space Pirates

BattleCrew: Space Pirates is a competitive multiplayer shooter where you choose a pirate character, form a crew and battle other players. Each character has distinct attack, defense and movement attributes, which affect both your playstyle and how you navigate the maps. Matches support up to eight players and reward skill and cooperation.

Game modes

Gold Rush is a 4-versus-4 mode where teams collect as much gold as possible to win. Team Deathmatch is a 2-versus-2 mode where you kill enemy pirates to claim victory.

Characters and maps

The game has four character classes, each with a different playstyle. It includes 18 unlocked maps: nine for Gold Rush and nine for Team Deathmatch. The community can unlock additional maps through Pirate Bounties.

Tortuga and crews

Between battles, you can visit Tortuga, a space station that serves as a hub for pirates to meet and chat, find teammates, invite friends, view game statistics and leaderboards, customize an avatar, check community challenges and launch matches. Crews are available in the Unlimited version: you can form a squad of four for Gold Rush or two for Team Deathmatch. Once the crew is complete, it enters its own Tortuga.

Challenges and unlocks

Community challenges called Pirate Bounties award Bounty Points and Pirate Points (XP), which unlock content such as maps, skins and taunts. Players can also unlock environments, emotes and game modes by winning regularly updated challenges.

Training and achievements

A tutorial introduces new players to each character’s core gameplay and skills. Training mode lets you play against bots, and the game includes 20 Steam achievements. Steam Inventory and Trading support allows players to trade eight BattleCrew cards.
