The long-awaited return of Skate is finally here, and fans won’t have to wait much longer. EA has confirmed that Skate free to play will officially enter early access on September 16, giving players the chance to experience the next evolution of the beloved skateboarding franchise. Built with a community-first approach, this live service revival promises endless replayability with seasonal content, crossplay support, and cross-progression across platforms.
The game takes place in San Vansterdam, an open city where players can freely skate, explore, and connect with friends. Using the reimagined “Flick-It” control system, Skate free to play blends familiar mechanics from earlier titles with smoother, more responsive gameplay. The city is packed with opportunities to perform tricks, tackle challenges, or simply chill with other skaters. With social features like the ability to drop ramps and rails into the environment, players can shape the world around them in real time.
One of the biggest draws of Skate free to play is its commitment to accessibility and community. Players across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC can all skate together thanks to full crossplay and cross-progression support. EA also confirmed that a mobile version is in development for iOS and Android. Seasonal updates, battle passes, and cosmetic rewards will keep the experience fresh, offering both free and premium options that never compromise gameplay fairness.
Going free to play marks a new chapter for the Skate franchise, opening its world to more players than ever before. Instead of locking features behind expensive paywalls, the focus is on fun, creativity, and community-driven gameplay. Whether you’re a veteran of the older games or completely new to the series, Skate free to play is designed to be welcoming, social, and endlessly replayable. With early access right around the corner, this could be the biggest moment for skateboarding games in years.
