Electronic Arts and Full Circle have officially announced the Early Access launch of skate. — the next evolution of the beloved skateboarding franchise — landing on September 16 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app.
Free-to-download, fully cross-platform, and supporting cross-progression, skate. is built to be as accessible as possible for both longtime fans and newcomers. Set in the sprawling city of San Vansterdam, players will explore four unique neighborhoods — Hedgemont, Gullcrest, Market Mile, and Brickswich — each packed with skateable spots, from rooftop ramps to repurposed churches.

From day one, skate. has been developed in collaboration with its player base. Full Circle promises seasonal updates during Early Access, including new challenges, cosmetics, music, and world expansions. As Jeff Seamster, Head of Creative, puts it:
“No gatekeepers, no barriers — just a city built for skating and a community that keeps it alive.”
Whether you're grinding rails or just vibing with friends, skate. is more than a game — it’s a living, breathing skateboarding sandbox.
