It’s been ages since a decent skateboarding game has been released on consoles, but later this year you can finally get Skater XL.
The game’s developer, Easy Day Studios, has now announced that Skater XL will be released worldwide on July 7th, 2020. The game will be available in both physical and digital retailers.
The game will be released for the PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch platforms. This is more platforms that rival game Session which is compatible only for PC and soon to be on Xbox One. That being said, only the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Skater XL are going to have physical releases.
