Overview

  • The Early Access version will be free to download on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and the EA app with full cross-play and cross-progression.
  • Servers support roughly 150 skaters per instance, and the game requires a persistent internet connection with no offline play.
  • San Vansterdam features four distinct neighborhoods and tools to drop ramps, rails and props so players can create and share lines.
  • Monetization centers on cosmetics with no pay-to-win, plus a Skate Pass offering free and paid tiers across roughly three-month seasons that begin shortly after launch.
  • Core skating returns via a rebuilt Flick-It system with physics-driven tricks and off-board movement, as Full Circle targets a full release about a year after Early Access; a mobile version remains in development.
