Initially announced in June 2020, skate. is finally opening its doors for PlayStation and Xbox playtesting. While a PC beta date remains unconfirmed, fans can register as Insiders to receive updates.

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

To participate, visit EA's website and register on the skate. page to become a Skate Insider. Early access testers will receive exclusive in-game rewards, including a unique 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 game promising an "authentic evolution" of the nearly 20-year-old series, as detailed in a Full Circle YouTube interview.
