Console Playtesting is Underway – Register for Beta Access and Exclusive Rewards!
Following its June 2020 announcement and subsequent teasers, skate. is finally available for playtesting on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. While a PC beta release 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, possibly even September, as evidenced by a recent highlight reel. However, developer Full Circle continues to encourage player registration, as development is actively progressing.
To participate in the beta, visit EA's official website and navigate to the skate. page to register for the Skate Insider Playtesting program. Early access participants (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 latest installment in the franchise, nearly a decade after Skate 3, 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 by Full Circle in a previous YouTube interview.
