Let’s be real, Skate’s pretty addictive. This is because San Vansterdam features countless challenges and grinding spots where an average skateboard enthusiast can go for hours without losing the spark.
Here, you’ve got plenty of tricks to master, Rip chips to earn, and fast travels to unlock. Together, these serve as an infinite source of engagement, making your journey endlessly exciting. However, during this non-stop action, some players overlook interesting challenges that the game offers in the face of achievements.
While some trophies automatically unlock after simple tasks, certain milestones require tricky goals that skaters often dismiss. But for those who want to stand out from an average player, nailing these can give them a significant edge and personal satisfaction. With that in mind, here’s a quick trophy guide for Skate 4, helping you unlock everything in no time.
What Are Achievements/Trophies In Skate 4?
Similar to other games, Skate 4, whether on PlayStation or Xbox, also features achievements or trophies for players to unlock. On Microsoft’s platform, you earn gamescore, and on Sony’s, you bag trophies in exchange for completing these unique tasks.
Here, you’ve got 21 achievements in total, each adding an extra layer of depth in game progression. Around 11 of them are pretty straightforward, while the remaining 10 are secrets that require additional attention.
Skate 4: All Secret Achievements
Before we discuss the regulars, let’s dive into the secret achievements first to settle your curiosity. Here’s each, along with insights to unlocking them:

| Put on For My City | Made it to San Vansterdam | Head to San Vansterdam using a fast travel after nailing the early tutorials. |
| Fully Pulled | Leveled up your first neighborhood | Keep grinding and reach level 2 in Hedgemont (the first district you’ll unlock). |
| Spot Hunter | Discovered 15 unique blocks in San Van | Just skate around the city between different districts, either alone or with friends, to unlock this achievement. |
| Skaterized | Completed 9 missions | Simply nail the first 9 missions in San Van, and you are good to go. |
| 14 Missions Capped | Completed 14 missions | After Skaterized, nail any 14 missions, and this trophy is yours. |

| Quick Drop It Like It’s Hot | Placed 50 Quick Drop objects | Just place quick objects such as ramps at different places (5 at a time) and re-add until you hit 50 and see an unlock notification. |
| Without The Footy, It’s Fiction | Used the Replay Editor to create and export 10 videos | Just replay your flashy moves 10 times and don’t forget to export each of them. |
