Avian Skateboarding Indie Game Skatebird Finally Flies onto PS5, PS4 Today | Push Square
If you enjoy the likes of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater but wish it had more feathers, you're in luck. Skatebird has just launched on PS5 and PS4 today, 1st June 2023. Nearly two years out from its initial release, this cute indie title is now available on Sony's consoles for £16.99 / $19.99.
So, what is this exactly? As you can see in the above trailer, it's what you'd expect: a skateboarding game, only with little birds instead of people. You skate through various levels full of quarter pipes and grind rails, building combos and finding collectibles just like in Activision's popular series. Because you're a bird, you can flap your wings to glide and extend jumps. Of course, you'll also unlock new clothing and boards with which to outfit your bird. It just looks kinda silly and kinda fun.
Alongside the PlayStation launch comes one last update to the game, adding a brand new map named Skate Heaven as well as new music and a selfie stick photo mode.
