After its initial announcement in June 2020, followed by tantalizing teasers, skate. has finally rolled out playtesting opportunities on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. While there's no confirmed start date for the PC beta yet, fans can still sign up as an Insider to stay in the loop.
According to the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account, console playtesting has been underway since at least December, with hints that it may have started as early as September, as seen in a highlight reel. Developer Full Circle continues to invite fans to join the playtesting, emphasizing that development is still in full swing.
To participate in the beta and experience skate. before its official release, interested players should visit EA's official website and navigate to the Skate page to register for Skate Insider Playtesting. Not only will you get early access to the game, but as an Insider, you'll also be rewarded with exclusive in-game items like a skateboard and stickers upon the Early Access launch.
skate. is slated for an Early Access release in 2025. This latest installment in the franchise arrives nearly a decade after Skate 3 and will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, skate. is designed as a free-to-play, live-service game that promises to deliver an "authentic evolution" of the beloved series, as highlighted by Full Circle in a previous interview on their YouTube channel.
