We’ve built this game alongside our community – listening, learning and evolving together. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or just dropped in, skate. is a place to express yourself, connect and grow. No gatekeepers, no barriers – just a city built for skating and a community that keeps it alive. Early Access is a huge milestone in that journey, and we’re hyped to keep growing San Vansterdam with our crew around the world.”
Skate will take players to the city of San Vansterdam, a sprawling open world filled with opportunities to show off your skills. Divided into four distinct neighborhoods – Hedgemont, Gullcrest, Market Mile, and Brickswich – each area offers its own challenges and unique features. The game’s Flick-It system will provide precision and control, allowing players to execute impressive tricks with ease. New moves like wallies, slappies, and firecrackers have been added to the game, offering even more ways to impress your friends. Additionally, features like Quick Drop will enable players to customize their surroundings by adding ramps and rails, ensuring that the city remains a fresh and exciting place to skate.
