In the video game Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow, Gibbs was voiced by Steven Blum.

Writer Terry Rossio has said he considers Gibbs to be the most virtuous character, as of the 2007 film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Despite his initial dread of pirates, he became good friends with one: the Black Pearl's former captain, Jack Sparrow.

Jack's history is well known to Gibbs, including his quest to regain the Pearl and seek revenge on his mutinous first mate, Hector Barbossa.

He has not grown any less superstitious, however, and continually comments about what causes bad luck, such as bringing women aboard ships, as well as waking a man while he's sleeping.

On Isla de Muerta, Elizabeth frees Gibbs and the crew from the Pearl's brig, and they take control of the ship.

Although Elizabeth tries to convince Gibbs and the others to save Jack and Will, who are fighting Barbossa on the island, they set sail with the Pearl.

Afterwards, Gibbs, Jack, and the crew are captured by a cannibalistic native tribe after they beach the Black Pearl on the mysterious island of Pelegosto.

Gibbs accompanies Jack on his quest to find the Dead Man's Chest, containing the heart of Davy Jones.

Gibbs travels to Singapore with Elizabeth and Barbossa, where he aids in the attempt to secure a ship and crew from Sao Feng.

The real Jack Sparrow, posing as a judge, comes to his aid and gives him a life sentence instead of the expected death penalty.

He is surprised to see that Barbossa is now a privateer in the service of the King, although their relationship is still strained, because Gibbs has little or no respect for his former comrade because of his past actions of betrayal.

In the opening, Jack, Gibbs and the crew attempt to rob a bank in the island of St. Martin by using horses to pull a safe full of money to them.

When Salazar catches up with the Dying Gull, Gibbs and the crew stay behind on the ship as Sparrow, Henry Turner, and Carine Smyth flee to the same deserted island where the Kraken was slain many years before.

When Barbossa dies, Gibbs and the crew have a brief moment of silence and lower their hats in tribute to their fallen captain.

Gibbs, the crew, and Sparrow drop off Smyth and Henry Turner to their home, before sailing off, to enjoy the rest of their lives as pirates.
