by Rainier on Sept. 16, 2025 @ 11:58 a.m. PDT

Set in the vibrant city of San Vansterdam, skate. is a multiplayer skateboarding destination offering a massive open world where players discover unique skate spots, land insane tricks and connect - or compete - with friends online.

Experience improved Flick-It controls, the rich physics based skateboarding gameplay that provides those “only in skate.“ moments and off-board exploration for full freedom in the large-scale multiplayer world of San Vansterdam.

Set in the vibrant city of San Vansterdam, skate. is a multiplayer skateboarding destination offering a massive open world where players discover unique skate spots, land insane tricks and connect - or compete - with friends online. With four unique neighborhoods - Hedgemont, Gullcrest, Market Mile and Brickswich - each offering its own distinct vibe and challenges, the city is a huge playground for skaters. From parks and plazas to rooftops and massive ramps, every corner is packed with skateable spots, including the House of Rolling Reverence, a former church transformed into a trick haven for skaters.

At the core of skate. is the restored and improved Flick-It System, brought back to life through the Frostbite™ Engine to deliver the best skateboarding experience we have ever offered. With unparalleled precision and control, Flick-It brings the magic of the franchise back to life for a new generation of players. skate. also introduces a variety of new tricks - such as wallies, slappies and firecrackers - offering fresh ways to ride. Skatepedia serves as the ultimate resource for mastering tricks and styles, while ensuring accessibility for new players.

Electronic Arts and Full Circle’s skate. releases in Early Access today on PS 5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and EA App.

skate. is free-to-play*, fully cross-platform with cross-progression support**, making it easy for both longtime fans and new skaters to jump in and ride together. 

skate.’s Early Access is just the beginning; the game will continue to evolve alongside the player community, with new content and features planned throughout Early Access and beyond.

“We’re thrilled to welcome everyone to San Vansterdam and the best skateboarding the franchise has ever delivered,” said Mike McCartney, Executive Producer of skate. “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.”

To pay off on this ultimate hangout space, check out the above skate. | Live Action Trailer - "Drop In".

In Drop In, a DIY skate video turns into a surreal ride through San Vansterdam, where anyone can – and will – skate anything as the crew grows with unexpected skaters and impossible tricks. “Drop In” is more than just a trailer, it’s an open invitation to players to paint their own lines and make this skate community their own.

Throughout Early Access, skate. will continue to evolve, grow and add new content, including new skateable areas, challenges, events, brand partners, cosmetics and music with each Season. Season 1 kicks off in October, bringing two seasonal events, a skate.Pass for more rewards, updates and more. Season 2 and 3 will deliver key player-requested features like party voice chat, replay editor improvements, new character customization options, leaderboards and new tricks like Impossibles and Darkslides.

In skate., players can discover new ways to explore and get vertical with new off-board controls, giving them total freedom to roam, climb and find epic new spots. Additional features like Quick Drop allow players to place ramps, rails, benches and more anywhere in the world to fine-tune their perfect spot. skate. offers players the ability to find their own fun with endless activities, including rotating world map challenges - such as Line Challenges, Own The Spot and Sessions - as well as high-energy Throwdowns with friends. The new Spectate mode lets players instantly find the action and use Spectaport to jump straight into any live session.

Collaborative development with skate. fans and the community have always been a priority throughout our development process.
