What Time Does Skate Come Out?

The long-awaited return of the Skate franchise is finally here, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more open than ever before. Developed by Full Circle in collaboration with Electronic Arts, Skate isn’t just a sequel or remaster, but a full evolution of the series. Set in the sprawling city of San Vansterdam, the game brings back the beloved Flick-It trick system, introduces new mechanics and challenges, and invites both old and new players to jump into the vibrant playground. Read on to learn exactly when you can start playing Skate.

Skate Global Release Times

Skate will be launching into Early Access on September 16, 2025. The game is set to roll out across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA App.

The release will not be simultaneous worldwide. Instead, servers will go live at specific times depending on your region. Here are the confirmed launch times for Skate Early Access:

Skate Upcoming Seasons Breakdown

Skate’s early access launch will evolve through multiple seasons, each bringing new content and improvements to the game. Season 1, kicking off in October 2025, introduces two themed seasonal events: Skate-o-Ween and 7-Play Maple Harvest.

Season 2, arriving sometime in December 2025, expands the experience with more seasonal events, a brand-new co-op mode, party voice chat, replay editor improvements, and fresh tricks such as impossibles and improved handplants.

Looking further ahead, Season 3 (arriving beyond 2025) will add entirely new game modes, player-created skate parks, additional character customization slots like tattoos, advanced tricks including darkslides and footplants, and global leaderboards.

When it comes to gameplay, Skate stays true to the series’ roots while layering in modern improvements. The trick system still revolves around smooth grabs, grinds, flips, and rotations, with animations that feel instantly familiar to longtime fans. Off the board, players now have expanded movement options, with the ability to scale walls, climb, and jump to reach new spots and lines.
