Even though it’s been a while, EA has confirmed that they are still working on Skate during the Summer Game Fest 2024. Console playtesting will also be launching this Fall to give players a little taste of gameplay and get it ready for its full launch.
Based on the trailer, M-Corp has now gone as skaters infiltrate San Vansterdam. The corporation previously had a hold of the city, but their misdeeds have finally caught up to them. Fortunately for the skaters, they can now safely travel around San Vansterdam, showing off a few gnarly tricks.
Sign-ups for the console playtest are now available via the Skate page. It’ll give you a chance to see what the studio has been working on, even though it’s still in its testing period. Users can then provide any feedback on the game to help shape Skate’s official launch.
Previous Skate playtests only centered around PC and mobile versions, including the EA App. Nevertheless, the game will continue to expand with its console iterations. You may also get the chance to participate in other playtests, where Electronic Arts may invite you back for another round.
Since Skate is still in development, there isn’t a set release date as of right now. However, we do know that it will be available to play on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and PC. Additionally, cross-play and cross-progression will be available, allowing you to experience it on any platform.
