The Electronic Arts and Full Circle studio have recently launched skate. in Early Access, bringing back one of the most iconic skate game series. The game, which is free-to-play and supports cross-play, is now available on various platforms including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
Open-World Gameplay in San Vansterdam
skate. is set in an open-world environment in San Vansterdam, a fictional city that is constantly evolving and provides the perfect backdrop for multiplayer sessions. The city is divided into four distinct neighborhoods, each offering unique terrains and environments ranging from squares and parks to rooftops and even a skateboarding space within a cathedral. The game encourages continuous exploration, allowing players to discover new tricks in every corner.
Exciting New Features and Updates
The game introduces the Flick-It control system, which has been enhanced for better precision, and allows players to explore the city on foot, uncovering alternative paths and hidden spots on the map. Additionally, skate. offers quick scenario creation tools that enable players to add ramps, rails, or benches in real-time, either solo or with friends.
Future Updates and Seasonal Content
Electronic Arts has announced that skate. will receive regular updates with new seasonal content. The first season is set to begin in October and will feature themed events, a skate.Pass with rewards, and other surprises. Future seasons are expected to include community-requested features like group voice chat, additional tricks such as Impossibles and Darkslides, and enhancements to the replay editor.
In-Game Purchases and Founder’s Packs
While the game is free-to-play, players have the option to purchase cosmetic items. The Founder’s Pack (€24.99) and Founder’s Deluxe Pack (€49.99) are also available, offering virtual currency (San Van Notes), exclusive items, and access to the Premium Skate Pass for the first season. These packs can be bought until December 2, providing players with additional in-game perks and rewards.
