About This Game
Dive into skateboarding paradise with levels that feature famous skate landmarks and environmental elements, including Downtown LA, the ginormous The Big Ramp, Easy Day High School, and community created maps like Grant Park, Hüdland and Streets. Play as some of today’s top skateboarding pros Tiago Lemos, Evan Smith, Tom Asta and Brandon Westgate, or customize and create your own skateboarding legend with gear from more than 30 real skate brands. Skater XL is truly the skateboarding world’s digital counterpart.
Skater XL features include:
Freedom Of Expression - Skater XL’s physics-based controls don’t have any pre-programmed tricks - only the movement through the thumbsticks. Each thumbstick is connected to the corresponding foot of the skater and as the player moves the stick, the board instantly responds. Much like a musical instrument, the player has complete freedom, whether it be pushing to nail a line or skating free from.
Multiplayer Free Skate - Link up and skate with your friends in groups of up to 10 players and shoot replays together.
Real Life Iconic Locations - Skater XL levels are all inspired real-world skate areas and designed to ensure a constant flow of skate lines. From the DTLA Map with skateboarding landmarks around the Staples Center and LA Convention Center, to Easy Day High School’s sprawling campus of iconic skate spots like the Wallenberg Big 4 and the ‘Leap of Faith’, to the humongous ‘Big Ramp,’ where skaters can soar higher than a hawk.
Play As Real-Life Skate Pros - Select from renowned pros Tiago Lemos, Brandon Westgate, Evan Smith, and Tom Asta, all with their own distinct gear that fits their style.
Customizable Characters - The possibilities are endless to personalize the Skater XL experience. Players can customize their entire look, including their skater’s gear with different tees, hoodies, hats and shoes from over 30 of the most recognized skate brands like Vans, Santa Cruz, DC Shoes, Independent, Lakai and many more.
Trick Challenges - Hundreds of challenges with progressive difficulties, to help build your bag of tricks as you move further toward the completing them all. Can check off the entire list??
Dive into a passionate community with more than 100,000 members in Discord (the biggest Discord in the World for reference is Fortnite at 500k, amazing given that Skater XL is still in Early Access!) who create online zines, video parts, fakeskate brands, and hundreds of mods. Players can become part of a bigger ecosystem and join the digital skateboarding subculture where they can share their creativity on the newly launched Skater XL modding hub, Skaterxl.mod.io.
Legit Soundtrack - Modest Mouse, Getter, Interpol, Animal Collective, Future Islands and Band Of Horses headline the distinctive music that blends well with the Skater XL’s West Coast vibe and fluid physics-based control mechanics.

Have sunk 120 hours into this game and all of those hours are thanks to modders after the game is abandoned by the devs. Even coming back to it with the mods, it's just sad knowing the modding community is dragging this corpse of a game around and doing the devs jobs for them.
this game is good but has problems. desperately needs to mainstream the stat menu and board breaking, wear and tear, cloth physics, ext. feels really good. but the lack of consistent game play holds it back. with mods its a great experience. but even then your stuck doing flat ground and rails{street skating} because the vert is so wonky. the impact of lands is there , more so then skate 3. but needs better animations for landing sketchy, or bails. i havent seen bails done good since tony hawk p8. most games now just use ragdoll physics and bad ones at that. when i bail i want it to feel like i just hurt myself. not like the soul of my character just left his body. need animations for walking away from bails that arent as bad. if a flatground flick trick fails then it shouldnt feel like my guy just gave up on life. all in all still a solid game and worth the money. just needs constant attention from the devs which im not sure it will get seeing how it's development has been going.
I loved this game only because of the modding scene, but other than that there's nothing to it. I've bought the game originally on the xbox and even with the gravity physics sucking I enjoyed the game. Now, I wouldn't even be able to switch back to the base game. The modding community is there some what, but the game is dead and there hasn't even been a update since 2023. Complete radio silence from the dev team. Now, I do love the game and find it fun but if you asked me " should I cop Skater XL. I would only say if you find it on a deal or if you are ready to mod the game completely. It's sad to see the game I loved just be left alone
Doesn't detect controller anymore. Trash.
Mods=yes. Vanilla=forget about it. This comment's about as lazy as easy day studios. Play Session if you want a more realistic skate sim, still has it's issues but is leagues better than XL
Cool
i fw it
cool skate thing yeet
So ready for the OG Skate to come out!
