Skate Console Playtesting: Get Involved Now!

Register for Beta Access and Exclusive Rewards

Announced back in June 2020, with periodic teases keeping fans on the edge of their seats, skate. is finally ready for its console playtest on PlayStation and Xbox. While a PC beta date remains unannounced, registering as an Insider ensures you'll be among the first to know.

According to the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account, console playtesting has been underway since at least December, possibly even September, as evidenced by recent highlight reels. However, developer Full Circle actively encourages new sign-ups, as development continues.

To participate in the beta, visit EA's official website, navigate to the skate. page, and register for Skate Insider Playtesting. Beyond early access to the game, Insiders will receive exclusive in-game rewards, including a custom skateboard and stickers upon Early Access launch.

skate. is slated for Early Access release sometime in 2025. This marks the franchise's return after nearly a decade since Skate 3, bringing the free-to-play, live-service experience to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, Full Circle promises an "authentic evolution" of this nearly 20-year-old skateboarding series, as detailed in a previous YouTube interview.
