Skate. Finally Launches Into Early Access in 2025 [IGN]

EA’s Skate revival finally has a release window, although it’s a vague 2025 for early access.

Full Circle’s Skate. (yes, the title includes the full stop) has a firmer console playtest set for fall 2024. Full Circle said it will share more details on what to expect in the coming months, but didn’t say when.

Skate., formerly known as Skate 4, was first announced during EA Play way back in 2020, but at the time was stated as “very early” in development. Since then, Full Circle has kept the community up to date with closed community playtests of early builds and plenty of updates on where the game is at via its “The Board Room” video series.

The developer officially revealed the name of the game would be ‘skate.’ back in 2022, alongside confirmation it would release as a free-to-play title on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
