Following its announcement in June 2020 and subsequent teasers, skate. is finally open for playtesting on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. While a PC beta launch date remains unconfirmed, PC gamers can register as Insiders to receive updates.

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

To participate, visit EA's website and register on the skate. page for the Insider Playtest. Early access participants 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, marking a significant return to the franchise nearly a decade after Skate 3. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. 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 almost 20-year-old series, as detailed in a previous Full Circle YouTube interview.
