According to the game's official X (Twitter) account, console playtesting has been ongoing since at least December, and possibly as early as September, as indicated by a highlight reel. Developer Full Circle continues to invite fans to sign up for playtesting, as the game's development progresses actively.

Not only do you get early access to the game, but as an Insider, you'll also receive exclusive rewards, including an in-game skateboard and stickers upon the Early Access launch.

skate. is slated for an Early Access release sometime in 2025. This new installment in the franchise arrives nearly a decade after Skate 3 and will be available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Set in the fictional city of San Vansterdam, skate. is designed to be a free-to-play, live-service game that aims to deliver an "authentic evolution" of the nearly 20-year-old series, as Full Circle explained in a previous interview on their YouTube channel.
