The download size for EA and Full Circle’s upcoming free-to-play skateboarding game, Skate, has been revealed.
PlayStationSize on Twitter/X has revealed the download size for the PS4 and PS5 versions of Skate, courtesy of recent database entries made to PlayStation servers. The upcoming free-to-play skateboarding game will take up a very modest amount of storage space. That said, those with limited available storage on the internal drive are advised to clear up some space in advance. It goes without saying that storage expansion options are available for those who need them.

Earlier in March, 2025, an individual with access to Playtest builds shared some details, confirming prior claims regarding the regarding Skate’s heavy use microtransactions. According to them, in-game credits aren’t easy to earn. The Playtester confirmed that the in-game store in EA Skate already has microtransactions in place, including bundles for obtaining items like Nike gear. Most of these bundles come with 5-6 items, including clothing, decks, wheels, etc. At this point, the most expensive bundle currently available on the in-game store costs 2,350 San Van Bucks (the game’s in-game currency), which converts to around 20 US Dollars. It includes a mix of clothing and skating items. To make matters worse, in-game credits are tough to earn.
