skate. Early Access Release 2025

Delivering a massive, multiplayer skateboarding experience in a fully open world, skate. is set in the ever-evolving city of San Vansterdam, where every street and rooftop presents a new opportunity for tricks and self expression. Players can explore four distinct neighborhoods, each with their own unique terrain, atmosphere and skate spots to discover. From rooftops and canals to plazas, parks and a heavenly cathedral-turned-trick haven, San Vansterdam is the ultimate playground for skaters.

"We're thrilled to welcome everyone to San Vansterdam and the best skateboarding the franchise has ever delivered," said Mike McCartney, Executive Producer of skate. "We've focused on perfecting the core skateboarding experience - capturing the thrill of discovery, individual creativity and the satisfaction of finally landing that insane trick. Early Access isn't a regular launch, it's an invitation to help shape skate.'s future as we continue to build and push the boundaries of what this game can be."

To pay off on this ultimate hangout space, check out the skate. | Live Action Trailer - "Drop In" HERE. In Drop In, a DIY skate video turns into a surreal ride through San Vansterdam, where anyone can – and will – skate anything as the crew grows with unexpected skaters and impossible tricks. "Drop In" is more than just a trailer, it's an open invitation to players to paint their own lines and make this skate community their own.

At launch, the iconic Flick-It system is back and better than ever, meticulously resurrected and expanded for even more precision and depth of control. Plus, with new off-board controls, players can now get vertical, unlocking the potential to discover hidden spots above and below the streets of San Vansterdam.

• Find and join fellow skateboarders and friends at San Vansterdam hot spots using Spectate mode.
• Master hundreds of new tricks with Skatepedia, a comprehensive guide to everything possible in the game.
• Collect, customize and vibe to a dynamic soundtrack featuring breakthrough artists to timeless classics - everything from Denzel Curry to Earth, Wind & Fire and Little Simz. The soundtrack is alive, just like San Vansterdam, and will evolve in Early Access and beyond.
