Those of us who were around for the original Skate probably feel a little too old to get outside and skateboard in real life. But in the virtual world, we thrive. Thankfully, developer Full Circle totally understands because they just launched Skate in Early Access. You can download and play the game completely free with your buddies.
Skate is available now, completely free to download and play, with optional in-game purchases to help support ongoing development. You can play the skateboarding game on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and EA App), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It features full cross-platform and cross-progression support, so you can drop into the halfpipe with your buddies no matter where they play!
Speaking about the launch, Mike McCartney, Executive Producer, said:
We’re thrilled to welcome everyone to San Vansterdam and the best skateboarding the franchise has ever delivered. We’ve focused on perfecting the core skateboarding experience – capturing the thrill of discovery, individual creativity and the satisfaction of finally landing that insane trick. Early Access isn’t a regular launch, it’s an invitation to help shape skate.’s future as we continue to build and push the boundaries of what this game can be.
