Originally announced in 2020, Skate is currently being developed by Full Circle and will act as the sequel to 2010’s Skate 3.
The game still doesn’t have a release date but EA has confirmed Skate will be released on PC first, with a number of playtests taking place over the past few years. Now the studio has confirmed that Skate will also be available via Steam.
“In addition to the platforms already confirmed, we are stoked to announce Skate will be available on Steam for PC players,” said a post on social media as developers also confirmed a release date before 2050.
The official Skate twitter feed also confirmed that console playtests will begin this year as the game inches closer to launch on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. To sign up for the closed playtests, head here.
Back in 2022, EA announced that would be a free-to-play title, supported by microtransactions that won’t offer “”gameplay-altering advantages”. General manager of Dan McCulloch, described it as “an authentic evolution of the franchise that can be enjoyed by all players for years to come.”
