Pirate Week 2025 - Paints, Treasure Hunts & Pirate Swarm

Avast ye, scallywags—it’s that time o’ year again when the black fills with Jolly Rogers and mischief reigns supreme. Pirate Week 2955 (that’s 2025 if ye be landlocked) has dropped anchor, bringing paints, challenges, treasure hunts, and a full-blown call to all rogues to show their colors. Whether ye prefer to plunder in Arena Commander or flaunt yer Skullcrusher paint across the ‘verse, there’s something here for every rapscallion.

Overview

The Pirate Week 2025 event is live, loaded with special paints, competitions, and activities across the ‘verse. From Arena Commander’s Pirate Swarm to designing yer own flag, this event celebrates the brigands, cutthroats, and freebooters of Star Citizen. Ships and gear are featured, treasure hunts await, and only the boldest will earn the title of Pirate Aggressor.
