"The first game in the Skate series in 15 years finally has a release date for its Early Access phase: September 16 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. The good news (and possibly, the bad news as well) is that you can download and play for free because this new version of Skate is a live-service, free-to-play multiplayer title. Yes, that is a massive departure from what the first three games were."
"Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, the idea is that up to 100 players will be skating around on the same server, completing challenges, breaking bones and pulling off sick lines. Thus far, based on what we've heard from the closed testing, the core skating seems pretty decent. The real question is how well the game will handle monetization. The microtransactions are said to be purely cosmetic, but the Skate games have always been relatively niche,"
Skate will enter Early Access on September 16 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles as a free-to-play, live-service multiplayer title. The game is set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam and supports up to 100 players on the same server completing challenges, breaking bones and performing tricks. Development emphasized community playtesting and the closed tests suggest the core skating feels solid. Monetization is planned to focus on cosmetic microtransactions, raising questions about whether the franchise can attract and sustain a sufficiently large audience after a 15-year hiatus.
