"On August 26, EA posted a short trailer for the next Skate game, which is confusingly just titled Skate, and finally confirmed an early access release date. Previously, the publisher had teased that it would be out sometime this year and later promised it would be out this summer. But now we know that the new, online-only Skate reboot is launching on September 16. Mark your calendars and set aside some time to kickflip. Or crash. You'll probably be crashing a lot."
"EA first revealed it was working on a new Skate in 2020 after years of fans begging them to make it. Since then, the game has been leaked a few times, and EA has put out early, unfinished footage of Skate as part of a plan to be more transparent about the open-world skateboarding game's development. Skate has also been playtested by fans in the lead-up to its launch."
Electronic Arts and Full Circle will release the Skate reboot in early access on September 16, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game is online-only and focused on multiplayer in an open-world called San Vansterdam that supports up to 150 players per session and includes over 100 licensed songs. Development included public playtests, leaks, and EA sharing early, unfinished footage to increase transparency. The reboot emphasizes large-scale shared skating sessions, custom urban environments, and social multiplayer experiences rather than offline single-player play. Fans had long requested a new Skate. The release follows years of anticipation and development transparency.
