Electronic Arts will reveal the early access release date for skate. later this week, and that matters because the long-silent project is moving out of private tests into the public eye. Fans want to know when they can jump in, which platforms are supported, and whether the build feels finished.
It has been four years since EA first announced Skate. The publisher mostly held its cards close, running private playtests for a select few and dropping occasional dev updates. Who hasn’t wanted a true Skate sequel? Wow, a new cover art also popped up with the announcement, a slight tease that kinda signals the trailer will be more than a date stamp.
skate. Early Access Arrives This Summer
We already knew EA planned a Summer 2025 early access window. With summer nearly over, EA posted that a new video will premiere on Aug 26, 2025 at 9 AM PT. The video is titled “Skate | Early Access Release Date Trailer” and comes with that fresh cover art.
You can find the YouTube Video below:
We should see a chunk of new gameplay and an updated build that aims to look tighter than the leaked playtests described earlier. For background on those leaks, here’s the earlier report: skate 4 details leaked from early playtest. The big questions left: which platforms get early access, how much it will cost, and whether microtransactions are present. Maybe that’s the idea, keep a little mystery until the trailer drops.
