Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“There aren't any VR skateboarding games like Virtual Skate in terms of physics and core mechanics. While we feel we have a solid base for a great and fun VR skate game, it's better for the game to be battle tested early and let the community help it become the best that it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Depending on how the game evolves with community feedback and how many features make the cut for 1.0, we anticipate 12 to 18 months in Early Access. While we have a roadmap, we want to be flexible to allow players to voice their thoughts and help make the best skate game we can.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In addition to existing features like replay and multiplayer, we plan to add more tricks like darkslides, primos, and late flips. We aim to add more maps, gear, and brands. Also better replay editing and share/export functionality. Multiplayer game of S.K.A.T.E. Challenges through out each map, trick names/UI. A major stretch goal for 1.0 is to have full body avatars with mocap animations.

All of these are subject to change and may or may not make the final version of the game.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In Early Access:
Next Level Board Control: Physics based skateboarding in VR, your hands control your feet.
Customization: Make your skater and board unique with hundreds of combinations.
Replays: Grab a camera, point, and record your own replays and then watch them back.
Multiplayer: Skate with friends online. Even get clips with them using the replay system.
Legendary Spots: Skate legendary real world skate spots or test your skills in the obstacle courses.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“If the content and polish of the game improve to such a degree that it justifies a price increase, then at that point we may consider a small increase to reflect the value of the product at that time.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Skateboarding games always have such a vibrant and resourceful community. At Flip Axis, we strongly believe that engaging the community and getting feedback is vital to the health and success of our games. We want to you to have a part in shaping the future of Virtual Skate!”

About This Game

The closest to actual skateboarding you can get. Virtual Skate is the newest evolution of skateboarding games. Your hands control your feet giving you intuitive and next level board control. Skate with friends, customize your skater, grab a camera and film your tricks, or test your skills with challenging obstacle courses.

The evolution of skate game controls... First we had button presses, then single stick controls, next we had dual stick controls. Virtual Skate let's you control the board in all new dimensions. Each hand controls a foot directly, like hand boarding. Instead of having a 2D axis to control each foot, you now have full 3D control over your feet. Not only does this open up a whole new world of board control, it also let's you style your tricks in ways that aren't possible with canned animations. 

Grab a camera and actually film your tricks. The fully interactive replay mode allows you to follow skaters to film lines with ease, zoom in and out, ramp slow mo, and play back your favorite clips. Not only is the replay system immersive and nostalgic for those of us who skate, it brings a whole new skill to filming. Every skate crew has a filmer friend, someone who can actually hold a camera steady... Well now they can skate with you, rewind time in replay mode, and film the whole crew including themselves. The camera also sports a little fisheye when you zoom out enough.

Skate with up to 3 of your friends online! Hang out or get some clips with the homies. Voice chat, lip sync animations, and hand gestures let you express yourself naturally. Join a Quick Skate game to skate and socialize with new people or find your friends via the Sessions browser.

Express your style with a myriad of customization options for both your skater and your board. Make your look stand out just as much as your skating. 

Looking to challenge yourself? Test your skills on a variety of obstacle courses, get medals for beating time limits, or push yourself to beat your own time record.

Get VR motion sickness easily? Try Lines Mode, a completely stationary experience where obstacles come to you. No movement, no rotation, all the same skateboarding!

Customize your gameplay using the stats menu and make your experience comfortable with options like board offset, snap rotation, or a custom vignette.

Virtual Skate puts you on the board and lets you feel every pop, grind, and impact, without the broken bones and rolled ankles. Perfect for the old heads who can't huck it down big stair sets like they used to, or for rainy days that ruin a good session. Link up with friends, shred all day, and keep stacking clips.
