"Skate 4" has returned with a brand-new city, San Vansterdam, where players can chill, land tricks, and complete missions across vibrant neighborhoods.
Along the way, you'll collect Rip Chips to trade for product boxes and exclusive rewards. But if your camera feels off, your skating runs might lose their flow, making camera customization one of the most important aspects of gameplay.
In this tutorial, we're going to guide you on how to adjust your camera angle in "Skate 4" and the optimal settings to ensure that your skateboarding experience is smooth and immersive.
How to Change Camera Angle in 'Skate 4'
Your camera position determines how much of San Vansterdam you can see while you're skating, and it affects gameplay as well as performance. With "Skate 4," you're able to adjust both your off-board view and on-board view for greater control.
To alter your field of view (FOV) and camera settings, GameRant recommends that you do the following:
In-Game Controls:
- Press ESC to bring up the Hub.
- Press 1 or tap the cog icon to view Settings.
- Go to Gameplay Settings and customize your camera angles.
From the Start Screen:
- Open the Accessibility menu (press 1 on your keyboard).
- Turn both in-game camera preferences, on-board and off-board, on or off.
- The FOV is between +50 and +120, with a step of five, allowing you flexibility to adjust your view.
Optimal Camera Settings for 'Skate 4'
Although adjusting the FOV is necessary, "Skate 4" provides more in-depth customization. You can adjust follow strength, framing, offsets, and sensitivities to achieve the smoothest skating flow. The suggested settings are as follows:
On-Board Camera
- Horizontal Follow Strength: 5 (Default)
- Vertical Follow Strength: 5 (Default)
- Field of View: +75 to +80
- Maintain Camera Distance: Off
- On-Board Camera Offset: 4

Off-Board Camera

Your Camera Settings Will Make a Huge Difference
Good camera settings do not just make the game look pretty. Of course, a little tweak will dictate if you can successfully pull off a trick or complete a run.
A higher FOV aids your ability to see obstacles and opportunities, whereas reasonable sensitivities allow for smooth transitions. Whether you're cruising around loosely or grinding through objectives, setting up your camera guarantees a smoother and more enjoyable "Skate 4" session.
