Skater XL

Skater XL is a skateboarding game built around physics-based controls. Each thumbstick controls the corresponding foot, and the board responds directly to your movements. There are no pre-programmed tricks, leaving you to create lines and skate freely through the levels.

Skate the levels

The levels draw on real-world skate spots and landmarks, with layouts designed to support flowing lines. They include Downtown LA, featuring spots around the Staples Center and LA Convention Center; Easy Day High School, with the Wallenberg Big 4 and the Leap of Faith; and The Big Ramp. Other available maps include Grant Park, Hüdland and Streets.

Choose and customize a skater

You can skate as pros Tiago Lemos, Evan Smith, Tom Asta and Brandon Westgate, each with gear that reflects their style. You can also create and customize your own skater, choosing items such as tees, hoodies, hats and shoes from more than 30 real skate brands, including Vans, Santa Cruz, DC Shoes, Independent and Lakai.

Challenges and multiplayer

Hundreds of trick challenges increase in difficulty as you progress. In Multiplayer Free Skate, groups of up to 10 players can skate together and shoot replays.

Community and soundtrack

Players create online zines, video parts, fake skate brands and mods, and share their work through the Skater XL modding hub. The soundtrack features Modest Mouse, Getter, Interpol, Animal Collective, Future Islands and Band Of Horses.
