Skate is Getting a Playtest on Consoles

gamingbolt.com:

Developer Full Circle has announced that its upcoming skateboarding game Skate will be coming to consoles for playtesting. The studio took to social media platform X to announce that PS5 and Xbox Series X/S players interested in playtesting Skate can register for the playtest through the game’s official website.

The announcement was made as part of a Q&A session the developers had with players in response to its PC playtest from back in September. When asked what happened to console playtesting which was originally announced for Fall 2024, the developers responded by saying it’s happening soon.

While the playtesting for Skate has been announced, it is worth noting that not all interested players will get selected. The studio is still being selective about the players it allows into its playtest. It is, however, an ongoing process, and the studio is working on bringing more and more players into the playtest.

Back in September, Full Circle had announced that Skate would be getting an Early Access release some time in 2025. The announcement came after quite a bit of time being spent in development and with several playtests having happened on PC. The studio hasn’t yet announced a solid release date, however.

Skate is planned to be a free-to-play title, with a heavy emphasis being placed on player customisation. The studio had released a developer diary specifically addressing how player customisation was going to be a big deal about the game. Players will be able to make use of quite a few options for customisation, ranging from body type, shape, height, and plenty of wardrobe options.
