After its initial announcement in June 2020 and subsequent teasers, skate. is finally ready for playtesting on PlayStation and Xbox! While there's no confirmed date yet for the PC beta, fans can still register as an Insider to stay in the loop.
According to the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account, console playtesting has been underway since at least December, with some evidence suggesting it started as early as September, as shown in a highlight reel. Developer Full Circle continues to invite fans to sign up for playtesting, as the game's development is actively progressing.
To participate in the beta and experience skate. before its official release, interested players should visit EA's official website and navigate to the Skate page to register for Skate Insider Playtesting. Not only will you get early access to the game, but as an Insider, you'll also receive exclusive rewards, including an in-game skateboard and stickers upon the Early Access launch.
skate. is slated for an Early Access release in 2025. This latest installment in the franchise arrives nearly a decade after Skate 3 and will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, skate. is designed to be a free-to-play, live-service game that promises an "authentic evolution" of the nearly 20-year-old series, as shared by Full Circle in a previous interview on their YouTube channel.
