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

EA's highly anticipated free-to-play skateboarding game, skate. (stylized as skate.), is now accepting console playtesters! Find out how to join the beta and snag some exclusive rewards.

Join the Skate Insider Playtest!

Announced in June 2020, skate. is finally entering console playtesting on PlayStation and Xbox. While a PC beta date remains unconfirmed, PC players 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 continues to welcome new testers as development progresses.

To participate, visit EA's website, locate the skate. page, and register for the Skate Insider Playtest. Early access testers (Insiders) 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, bringing the series to 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 franchise, as detailed in a Full Circle YouTube interview.
