Despite not being publicly accessible yet, enthusiasts have caught glimpses of the game’s offerings through trailers, leaks, and pre-alpha footage shared by Skate playtesters. As the release date draws nearer, more details about the game, such as its content model, customization options, and the confirmed 100+ songs at launch, are being unveiled to fans. The wait is almost over now, as EA has officially announced when fans can anticipate playing the much-awaited Skate game.

Skate Early Access Release Date

  • September 16, 2025

Previously, both Electronic Arts and Full Circle have given hints about the release of Skate, mentioning that it would be out in Summer 2025, but without setting a specific date. However, a fresh official trailer has now confirmed that Skate will debut on September 16, 2025, in early access. It is scheduled to launch on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC platforms including Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app.

Initially, Skate will be accessible without charge, offering cross-platform functionality that allows players to interact with friends regardless of their chosen system. This game also boasts cross-progression, enabling users to continue their progress on different devices from a single account. Skate intends to follow the seasonal content model, delivering new content, time-limited events, and unique cosmetics every three months according to a regular schedule, much like many live-service games do.

The game “Skate” is referred to as a continuously changing virtual skateboarding environment. It’s set in the sprawling metropolis of San Vansterdam, which serves as a shared, immersive open-world playground designed specifically for skaters. The Frostbite Engine will be responsible for managing the game’s physics, and luckily, the popular “Flick-it” system is scheduled to make a comeback. In addition to traditional moves, “Skate” will offer fresh tricks such as wallies, slappies, and firecrackers to keep the gaming experience engaging and provide veteran players with new skills to conquer.

Excitement for the new Skate game is soaring, fueled by devoted fans who have been patiently waiting for 15 years for a fourth installment. With over a million people signing up for Skate’s closed playtests, breaking Electronic Arts’ internal records, it’s clear that the game has a passionate fanbase yearning for a quality mainline addition to the series. Now, all EA needs to do is make sure they nail the landing.
