Join the Beta and Score Exclusive Rewards
Following its June 2020 announcement and various teasers, skate. is finally open 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 underway since at least December, possibly even September, as indicated by a recent video compilation. Despite this, developer Full Circle actively encourages new registrations, as development continues.
To participate in the beta, visit EA's website, locate the skate. page, and sign up for the Skate Insider Playtesting program. Early access testers (Insiders) will receive exclusive in-game rewards, including a unique skateboard and stickers, upon the Early Access launch.
skate. is slated for Early Access release 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 will be 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.
