Skate Story Launches on PS5, PC, and Switch 2 to Strong Early Reviews

Reviewers single out its surreal style and flow, with PS5 day-one PlayStation Plus access broadening reach.

Overview

  • The game released December 8, 2025 on PS5, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2, with PS5 availability in PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalogs.
  • Players control a glass demon bound to the Devil who skates through the underworld to consume moons, encountering a cast of eccentric characters.
  • Critics describe a blend of free-skate hub areas, fast kinetic courses, and boss encounters that hinge on pulling off trick chains to progress.
  • Reviews praise the crystalline visual style and synth-forward soundtrack, with a noted collaboration from Blood Cultures enhancing the atmosphere.
  • Early feedback flags a fiddly initial learning curve, a campaign of roughly seven hours across several chapters, and a reported post-credits inability to revisit hubs without restarting.
