EA's highly anticipated free-to-play skateboarding simulation game, skate. (stylized as skate.), is now open for console playtesting. Learn how to participate!
Console Playtesting is Underway!
Following its initial announcement in June 2020 and subsequent teasers, skate. is finally available for playtesting on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. While a PC beta launch date remains unconfirmed, fans can register as Insiders to receive updates.
According to the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account, console playtesting has been ongoing since at least December 2023, possibly even September, as evidenced by a recent highlight reel. However, developer Full Circle continues to encourage player registration, as development actively progresses.
To participate in the beta, visit EA's official website and navigate to the skate. page to register for Skate Insider Playtesting. Early access participants (Insiders) will receive exclusive in-game rewards, including a unique skateboard and stickers, upon the Early Access release.
skate. is slated for Early Access launch sometime in 2025. This marks the franchise's return after nearly a decade since Skate 3, and will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, the game is designed as a free-to-play, live-service title promising an "authentic evolution" of the nearly 20-year-old series, as detailed in a previous Full Circle YouTube interview.
