"EA's skateboarding series, Skate, has been dormant since 2010's Skate 3, but it's officially back today with the launch of a reboot that's simply titled Skate. You don't have to pay a penny to get it, as it's a free game available for everyone on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The version of the game launching today is an unfinished, early-access edition of the game."
"The original Skate games were paid releases, but the new Skate is a free-to-play, always-online game, with EA making money off the game through the sale of microtransactions. The original Skate came out in 2007, with sequels Skate 2 and Skate 3 arriving in 2009 and 2010, respectively. A mobile game, Skate It, launched in 2008. The franchise went dormant for more than a decade before EA announce a new Skate, simply called Skate, in 2020."
"The game takes place in the fictional world of San Vansterdamn, which itself is made up of four unique neighborhoods. Full Circle said the world is "ever-evolving" and that players can expert new areas, challenges, and music to be added throughout early access. While the Skate series has been gone for some time before it came back today, Activision's Tony Hawk series has seen multiple successful releases, including Pro Skater 1+2 and then 3+4 more recently."
Skate returns as a free-to-play reboot available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The launch is an unfinished early-access edition that may include bugs and oddities, with developer Full Circle planning to add new game modes, tricks, leaderboards, party voice chat, and other improvements over time. The game is always-online and monetized through microtransactions rather than a paid release. The setting is the fictional San Vansterdamn, made up of four neighborhoods, and the world is described as ever-evolving with new areas, challenges, and music to be added during early access. The franchise previously released titles in 2007, 2009, and 2010.
