After its initial announcement in June 2020 and various teasers along the way, Skate. is now open for console playtesting. According to the game's official X (formerly Twitter) account, testing has been ongoing since at least December, with some activity possibly dating back to September. Full Circle, the game's developer, continues to invite fans to sign up for playtesting as development progresses.

To participate in the beta, head over to EA's official website and visit Skate.'s page to register for Skate Insider Playtesting. Not only will you get an early taste of the game, but as a tester (or Insider), you'll also receive exclusive rewards, including an in-game skateboard and stickers upon the Early Access launch.

Skate. is slated to enter Early Access in 2025, marking a significant milestone nearly a decade after Skate 3's release. The game will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, Skate. is designed as a free-to-play, live-service game, promising an "authentic evolution" of the beloved series, as highlighted by Full Circle in a previous YouTube interview.
