Does Skate Support Crossplay and Cross-Progression?

In Short:

Yes, the new Skate game includes full crossplay, allowing you to play with friends on different platforms, and cross-progression, so you can carry your save across various devices. This feature is available on all supported platforms, including PC (EA app, Epic Games Store, Steam), PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S. You can easily link your progress using your EA account.

Now lets get to the details:

Skate, the free-to-play skateboarding sandbox from Full Circle and EA, lets players grind rails and build spots in the sprawling city of San Vansterdam. Since its Early Access launch in September 2025, the game has grown through seasons and events, pulling in players who want seamless multiplayer across devices.

Crossplay and cross-progression stand out as its core features that keep sessions going no matter where you log in. You can join friends on different consoles or PC, and your custom boards or unlocked gear follow you everywhere. Both work fully right now, tied to your EA Account.

List of Supported Platforms for Skate Multiplayer

Skate™ runs on a wide range of hardware, all connected through the same servers for up to 150 players per session.

Here is the current lineup:

Platform	Availability	Notes
PC (EA App)	Early Access	Full support
PC (Steam)	Early Access	Included in crossplay
PC (Epic Games Store)	Early Access	Full support
PlayStation 4	Early Access	Backward compatible
PlayStation 5	Early Access	Optimal performance
Xbox One	Early Access	Full support
Xbox Series X	S	Early Access
Android/iOS	Planned	Crossplay is expected once live

Every platform links up for multiplayer, so a PS5 player can team up with someone on Steam without issues.

Full Crossplay Support Across All Platforms

Skate delivers complete crossplay from day one of Early Access. You play co-op, compete in Throwdowns, or just cruise with anyone on the list above. Servers handle mixed lobbies smoothly, and platform icons show up next to usernames so you know who's where.

Crossplay stays on by default, which means no extra toggles just to squad up with your friends and family gamers. Recent patches in late 2025 fixed early glitches like connection errors during peak times.

How to Enable and Use Crossplay in Skate?

Setting up crossplay takes seconds since it activates automatically.

Follow these steps to add friends and jump in:

1. Launch Skate and head to the Main Menu > Hub tab > Social & Spectate.
2. Select Search and enter your friend's EA username or platform ID (like PSN or Gamertag).
3. Pick their profile and hit Add EA Friend. They get a notification to accept.
4. Once added, their platform icon appears next to their name. Invite them directly or join their session.
5. To tweak invites, go to Social & Spectate > Settings > choose Allow Party Invites or Allow Friend Requests (options: Everyone, Friends Only, No One).

If you want to turn crossplay off (say, for solo grinding):

1. 1. Open Main Menu or Map.
2. 2. Press X (or equivalent on your controller).
3. 3. Go to General > Cross-Play > toggle to Disabled.

On Xbox, your console's crossplay settings override the game, so check those in your profile options first.

Friends from other EA titles or your platform list sync automatically.

Here's an official video by EA that shows how to use cross-play in Skate:

Cross-Progression (Seamless Saves Across Devices)

Your grind pays off everywhere with full cross-progression. Log in with the same EA Account on any platform, and everything transfers instantly: levels, challenges completed, cosmetic unlocks, board customizations, clothing, stickers, and more.

No local saves here; the always-online design syncs progress server-side. Switch from PS5 during the day to PC at night, and your deck setup waits for you. Premium cosmetics bought with real money carry over, too.

How to Set Up Cross-Progression?

It's simple, here's how:

1. Create or link an EA Account during your first login (prompted automatically).
2. On a new platform, select Sign In with the same EA credentials.
3. Progress loads right away. Double-check in your profile under unlocks or inventory.

Pro tip: Verify your account email beforehand to avoid login hiccups.

Troubleshooting Crossplay and Progression Issues

Players hit snags sometimes, especially right after updates.

Common fixes:

• Can't connect to friends? Restart the game, check server status on @SkateStatus, or toggle crossplay off/on.
• Progress not syncing? Ensure you're using the exact same EA Account. Log out/in or wait a minute for cloud sync.
• Xbox/PS crossplay fails? Update console privacy settings to allow multiplayer with everyone.
• Steam-specific woes? Launch via EA App integration if needed; full parity exists now.

EA's help pages and Discord cover live fixes during events like the recent Winter Roll-stice.

What's Next?

Android and iOS versions are on the roadmap, with crossplay and progression promised to match consoles and PC. No firm date yet, but expect them to expand the player base further.

Seasons keep adding spots, events, and tweaks, so cross features will evolve with the live service model. Keep an eye on official channels for patches.
