Skate Early Access roadmap – here's when to expect major updates

Skate is now out in Early Access. 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.

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.
