Skate Playtest Now Available on Consoles!
Exciting news for console gamers! The highly anticipated skate. game, a fresh entry in the beloved Skate franchise, is now available for playtesting on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. While PC players have been enjoying playtests since mid-2022, this marks the first opportunity for console players to experience a new Skate game in over 15 years.
The last mainline Skate title, Skate 3, launched in 2010. Despite a dedicated fanbase, the franchise went dormant as EA prioritized other genres. However, persistent fan demand, fueled by the ever-present #Skate4 hashtag, finally led to the creation of a dedicated development team and the announcement of skate.. Last fall, skate. was slated for early access in 2025, and this console playtest is a significant step towards that release.
Via the official skate. Twitter account, Xbox and PlayStation players can now participate in the playtest through the skate. Insider program (registration required). A recent video from the development team confirmed additional Black hairstyle options and playfully addressed the "Fall 2024" playtest announcement. While specific details about gameplay features, like the rumored improved replay editor, remain under wraps, the anticipation is palpable.
skate. is confirmed as a free-to-play, live-service game set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, a work-in-progress inspired by various real-world and previous Skate game locations. While a map leak surfaced in 2023, significant changes are likely. Fans can either join the playtest or patiently await the wider release.
Keep Rolling Until Then
While early access is targeted for 2025, delays are always a possibility. Fortunately, skateboarding game enthusiasts have other options to enjoy in the interim before skate.'s full launch.
