Skate., EA'S F2P Skate Sim, Announces Playtesting

EA's free-to-play skateboarding simulation game, skate. (stylized as skate.), is now open for console playtesting! Find out how to participate below.

Sign Up for Beta Access and Exclusive Rewards

Announced in June 2020, skate. is finally accepting console testers on PlayStation and Xbox. While a PC beta date remains unconfirmed, fans can register as Insiders for updates.

According to the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account, console playtesting has been underway since at least December, possibly even September. However, developer Full Circle encourages continued registration as development actively progresses.

To participate, visit EA's website and register on the skate. page for Insider Playtesting. Early access testers receive exclusive in-game rewards, including a skateboard and stickers, upon the Early Access launch.

skate. is slated for Early Access release sometime in 2025. This marks the franchise's return after nearly a decade since Skate 3, launching on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, it's designed as a free-to-play, live-service title promising an "authentic evolution" of the nearly 20-year-old series, as detailed in a previous Full Circle YouTube interview.
