EA has confirmed that Skate will officially launch into early access in the summer of 2025, narrowing down the release window for eager fans. Along with this exciting news, EA also dropped a major update for those who’ve been participating in the insider playtest, bringing significant improvements to the environment and gameplay. The upcoming Update 0.27.0 will go live on July 2, 2025, transforming the city of San Vansterdam with a more vibrant and detailed landscape.
Expect new terrain, fresh challenges, and a more immersive skating experience than ever before.
This update introduces over 140 new challenges that will put your skating skills to the test. But that’s not all-there are also enhanced character customization options, allowing players to further express themselves and create unique skateboarding avatars. These changes are all part of a bigger effort to refine the game ahead of its early access debut.
If you haven’t joined the playtest yet, you still have time to sign up-just make sure to do so before June 27, 2025, as registrations will close shortly after. For those who are already playing, the new update promises an exciting shift from the grey, lifeless cityscape we’ve seen so far, making way for a more vibrant and dynamic world to skate through.
EA also announced that the game can now be wish-listed on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, so players can stay updated when pre-orders go live. It’s clear that the return of the Skate series is highly anticipated, with longtime fans of the franchise eagerly awaiting the full release.
As of now, EA has set its sights on a full game release in April 2026, and it will be interesting to see how the community reacts during early access. With continuous feedback from players, Full Circle is poised to deliver an exciting and polished skateboarding experience that has been long awaited.
