Skate: Early Access Launch for Consoles and PC on September 16

Awaited Return After More Than a Decade

Believe it or not, it's been over a decade and a half since the Skate franchise last graced our screens. The long-anticipated arrival of the early access version of 'skate.' is finally confirmed for September 16, 2025. This release will be totally free for gamers on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Access it across platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app.

In the latest announcement, fans were treated to the early access date alongside a reveal of the game's cover art and a brand-new trailer, all available for viewing on 'skate.'s official YouTube channel.

Explore San Vansterdam

Although September’s release is just a taste, it offers a preview of the expansive open-world environment of San Vansterdam. In this fresh installment, players will explore four unique neighborhoods that once lay under the iron grip of the anti-skateboarding conglomerate M-Corp. As the old regime weakens, skaters come out of the shadows to reclaim their playground.

A Long Time Coming

The anticipation for the fourth chapter in the Skate saga cannot be overstated. Originally, Electronic Arts delivered the first trilogy between 2007 and 2010. It wasn't until 2021 that EA announced the inception of a new development team, named Full Circle, tasked with creating this latest entry. The revamped 'skate.' is poised to be a live service, free-to-play game integrating microtransactions—but rest assured, none of these transactions will involve pay-to-win mechanics.
