Console players are finally getting the chance to dive into skate., the eagerly awaited new entry in the beloved Skate franchise, through a new round of playtesting. Although playtests for skate. have been available on PC since mid-2022, this marks the first opportunity for Xbox and PlayStation users to experience the first Skate game in over 15 years.
The last game in the Skate series, Skate 3, was released in 2010. Despite its dedicated fanbase, the franchise seemed to be on indefinite hiatus as EA shifted focus to FPS, Battle Royale, and live-service titles. However, persistent fan demand, symbolized by the #Skate4 hashtag, eventually led EA to announce a dedicated development studio for a new game. Last Fall, it was revealed that skate. would enter early access in 2025, and the inclusion of console testing is a promising step toward that goal.
The playtest for Xbox and PlayStation was announced via skate.'s official Twitter account, accessible through the skate. Insider program, which requires registration. A brief video from the development team addressed some fan questions, confirming the addition of more Black hairstyle options and playfully noting the initial "Fall 2024" playtest announcement.
EA has confirmed that skate. will be a free-to-play, live-service game, though specific gameplay details remain somewhat elusive. The game is set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, a work-in-progress that draws inspiration from both San Vanelona and Port Carverton, as well as real-world locations. A map of skate. leaked in 2023, but it may have undergone significant changes since then. Fans can register for the playtest or wait for skate. to become more widely available.
While skate. is slated to enter early access in 2025, gamers are all too familiar with the possibility of delays in the gaming industry. In the meantime, fans of the genre can explore other skateboarding games to keep the excitement alive until skate. is fully released.
