EA and developer Full Circle have together announced the long-awaited release date for highly anticipated title, skate. (the full stop is stylistic), and it’s soon.
Very soon, in fact, with the early access release date being September 16th, and yes, that’s for PC, PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The team reminds us all that it’s free-to-play, cross-platform, and has cross-progression making it “as accessible as possible for both longtime skate. franchise fans, and newcomers alike.”
“skate. is not just a return, it’s a complete evolution of the franchise that’s built to last,” said Mike McCartney, Executive Producer of skate. “Our goal with skate. is to capture the freedom, creative expression and community of skateboarding, and share it with as many people as possible. From day one, our priority has been to honour the legacy of the franchise while pushing it into a bold new future – one built in partnership with our players.”
“Community is the heart of skateboarding, and it’s the heart of skate.,” said Jeff Seamster, Head of Creative on skate. “From day one, we’ve aimed to create an open, welcoming space shaped by players. We’ve built this game alongside our community – listening, learning and evolving together. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or just dropped in, skate. is a place to express yourself, connect and grow. No gatekeepers, no barriers – just a city built for skating and a community that keeps it alive. Early Access is a huge milestone in that journey, and we’re hyped to keep growing San Vansterdam with our crew around the world.”
Set in the vibrant city of San Vansterdam, skate. is a multiplayer skateboarding destination offering a massive open world where players discover unique skate spots, land insane tricks and connect – or compete – with friends online. With four unique neighborhoods – Hedgemont, Gullcrest, Market Mile and Brickswich – each offering its own distinct vibe and challenges, the city is a huge playground for skaters. From parks and plazas to rooftops and massive ramps, every corner is packed with skateable spots, including the House of Rolling Reverence, a former church transformed into a trick haven for skaters.
skate is coming to PC, PS4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on September 16th via early access.
