Skate 4, officially titled Skate, is scheduled to be released in Early Access in 2025, with EA and developer Full Circle confirming this launch window in September 2024[1][3]. While an exact release date has not yet been announced, multiple reports indicate that Early Access is planned to begin in summer 2025[3][6][7]. The game will initially be available in an online-only mode, requiring an internet connection at all times[5].
The ongoing playtests, which began on PC and consoles in late 2024 and have expanded in 2025, are being used to shape the game’s features and polish the experience based on player feedback. The developers emphasize that the Early Access version should not be considered the final release but rather a foundation for ongoing content updates and improvements[1][6].
