EA's free-to-play Skate revival hits early access in September

"The game takes place in the city of "San Vansterdam," where you can cruise around to find places to pull off tricks, take on challenges, or just hang out with your friends. Skate uses a rebuilt version of the "Flick-It" control system from the original Skate games, so if you're familiar with the older titles, you should be able to jump right into the new version."

"Up to 150 skaters can be in a server at a time. You'll be able to buy in-game cosmetics for your custom skater from the in-game shop, though they're optional and don't provide any gameplay benefit. Like other free-to-play live service games, Skate will have seasonal content and its version of a battle pass with free and paid rewards. The new Skate will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One, and PC, and it will support crossplay and cross-progression."

Skate will enter early access on September 16 as a free-to-play live service game. The game is set in the city of "San Vansterdam," where players can cruise to spots for tricks, challenges, or socializing. The control system is a rebuilt version of the original "Flick-It" system to ease transition for returning players. Social features include the ability to place ramps and rails into the shared world, with up to 150 skaters per server. An in-game shop will sell optional, non-competitive cosmetics. Seasonal content and a battle pass with free and paid rewards will support the live service. The game launches on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC, with crossplay and cross-progression; mobile iOS and Android versions are in development.
