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.”

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.
