Full Circle popped into the Future Games Showcase to talk about Skate, the next title in the long-dormant skateboarding franchise, discussing improvements and changes made through its playtests. It also showcases new pre-pre-alpha gameplay, packed with various tricks and interactivity, while showcasing the environments.
However, perhaps the most significant is a big update coming next week, one that the development team says fans have been waiting for. A release date for early access, previously confirmed for Summer 2025? An open beta test? Time will tell, so stay tuned.
Skate is in development for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. Unlike previous titles, it’s a free-to-play game with microtransactions, allowing multiple players to skateboard through its massive environments. Cross-platform multiplayer and cross-progression are supported, and while there are microtransactions, they’re meant to be cosmetic-only.
Sadly, there’s no offline mode as the experience is designed from the ground up for online play.
