Skate is launching in early access across a wide range of platforms on September 16. EA has already detailed a fairly fulsome Skate roadmap for the next few months, with many major features set to be added to the evolving multiplayer skating game.
Thanks to some Skate early access, we've played the game and found it to be "a great game for just skating about or hanging out with friends". You can read more in our full Skate preview. If early glimpses are anything to go on, Skate could have a very successful launch indeed. Hopefully, Skate will end up ranking highly on our best crossplay games list by the time it fully launches.
Here's the Skate roadmap, with all of the details on future updates coming to the early access version. As EA unveils more on what's next for Skate, I'll be sure to update this page.
