Join the Beta and Score Exclusive Rewards
Announced in June 2020, skate. is finally open for playtesting on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. While a PC beta date remains unannounced, 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 2023, possibly even September. However, developer Full Circle continues to welcome new testers as development progresses.
To participate, visit EA's website and register on the skate. page for Insider Playtesting. Early access testers 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. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, it's 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.
