EA's free-to-play skateboarding simulation game, skate. (stylized as "skate."), is now accepting console playtesters. Learn how to participate!
Sign Up for Beta Access and Exclusive Rewards
Announced in June 2020, with periodic updates, skate. is finally open for playtesting on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. While a PC beta 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. However, developer Full Circle continues to encourage registration, as development is ongoing.
To participate in the beta, visit EA's website and register on the skate. page to become a Skate Insider. Besides early access, Insiders will receive exclusive in-game rewards, including a 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. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, it's designed as a free-to-play, live-service game promising an "authentic evolution" of the nearly 20-year-old series, as detailed in a previous Full Circle YouTube interview.
