About the Game
Skater XL is the evolution of skateboarding gameplay. With it’s Independent Foot Control System and unique physics-based gameplay, skate gamers finally have the expressive controls they have always dreamed of.
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.
IMPORTANT: This game REQUIRES an Xbox 360, One, PS3 or PS4 compatible controller to play. There are NO keyboard controls available. It also requires a DirectX 11 or above graphics card.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
What is up guys? We wanted to let you know about a minor update we’ve made to the Public Branch of the PC game, with the addition of Challenge Lines in the News Feed. These challenges are a small addition designed to help you hone your skills, explore different skate spots, and warm up for your Skater XL sessions. The new challenge lines offer a variety of difficulty levels, providing opportunities to practice and improve your skating. Want an extra challenge? Try them switch or in the opposite stance.
All of the original map challenges in the game are now available in switch stance too and can be found in the Challenges menu.
We’ll be updating these challenge lines regularly, so check back in the News Feed from time to time to see what’s new. You can check out the first spot challenge at JKwon Plaza by opening the News Feed from the main menu and selecting the most recent article. Then hit “Play Challenge” and the challenge will start.
In addition, Evan Smith's gear has been updated to reflect his new shoe sponsor - Clearweather Footwear. Check them out and give Evan's character a play.
We hope you enjoy these small additions!
*Mod Disclaimer: While we make every effort to preserve existing mods with each update, we are not able to control exactly how updates to the official game code will interact with every one of them.To address broken mods after an update, ensure that you have the latest version of Unity mod manager. If the issue persists, some mods may need updates from their creators to be compatible with the latest version of the game.

To use the DIY Map Editor from within gameplay, push and hold Y / △ for half a second.
Note that the new Tampa Pro 2024 map contains some additional objects which can be used in the DIY Map Editor, and a few props in the map are also movable.

This patch build 1.2.7.8 addresses some gameplay glitches in last week's 'More Freedom With Grabs' update.
These Include:
View on Steam
These Include:
- Fixed unnatural character lean angles during some grinds and slides in goofy stance.
- Fixed incorrect grab tweak angles and speeds in goofy stance.
- Fixed incorrect turning animations in goofy stance.
- Fixed altered animation blends during flip tricks which resulted in robotic, less detailed foot movement during the scoop & flip of the trick.
- Fixed auto-reverts in ramps tagged with both auto-revert and auto-pump.
- Fixed occasional excessive speed boost from both auto-pump and manual pump in ramps.
What is up Skater XL Players! Today we are stoked to be releasing a minor quality of life patch update on all platforms.

Today’s update contains the following improvements and optimizations:
We hope you enjoy these improvements and we appreciate all the continued community support!

Today’s update contains the following improvements and optimizations:
- Deep reworking of many art assets and systems to give frame rate improvements across all original 1.0 game maps. An average gain of +8 FPS Downtown Los Angeles +6 FPS in Easy Day Highschool on base model Xbox One, with similar increases on low spec PC's and base PS4 and all maps now running at 60+ except for DTLA (which averages 59FPS).
- New GPU efficient “Decal” replacement system implemented allowing re-inclusion of extra detailing texture layers, reflections etc. in original maps.
- Updated animated elements in some maps including vegetation and environmental features.
- Nickname in Multiplayer now locked to platform username to prevent offensive and inappropriate names
- Minor bug fixes including PS4 memory crashes, environment and online player SFX volume saved settings not applied on game start, and bug in Replay List Menu where highlight replay from mod map (that is not current map) preview image is not shown properly.
We hope you enjoy these improvements and we appreciate all the continued community support!
- New Spectate Mode now available by pushing and holding A/Triangle
- Can switch players in Replay mode in Multiplayer by pressing L/R on the Pad
- Various minor bug fixes and improvements

Changes:
- Fixed gameplay sounds bugs in Multiplayer affecting sounds of other players
- Fixed DIY Objects not always deleted on map change
- Minor DIY Map Editor camera improvement
Note that a minor fix was also made to a prefab object which meant we had to rebuild the Addressables bundle of all assets hence this update is a 3GB download despite being only minor changes.

What is up guys? Over the last few weeks of the Multiplayer Free Skate Open Beta on PC we have been tracking usage, speaking to players and investigating a few key things hindering the fun of the experience and have made the following adjustments to the Open Beta Branch on Steam. We will be testing these changes over the next couple weeks, while we simultaneously continue to prepare the console Multiplayer Free Skate releases.
If you are already in the Open Beta Branch on Steam, these updates should download immediately upon opening the game. If the branch does not update automatically, close your Steam client completely and reopen it.
If you have not accessed the Open Beta Branch, follow the steps at the bottom of this post.
Pin Markers
We have found that it's sometimes hard to find where the action is or where other skaters are sessioning, particularly in big maps. Pin mode will now put an easy to spot colored marker above any skater's head, regardless of if they are in pin mode themselves making it far easier to find other skaters across a map. The markers extend into the sky to help find other skaters over, or from outside of buildings.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34055591/273be11de37c5574540b64a0c1aad3dfddbeedb6.png
Public Multiplayer
Often you will be playing in a public game and want to play on a different map. The current experience forces you to join, leave, join, leave and hope that you load into a new map, also triggering repeated notifications on other players screens.
With the new system you can now push yourself straight to the next available room with the ‘Join Next Map' option, removing the problem of joining/rejoining in the hope of finding a new map. Map variation has been prioritized. If a room is full, the next room created will be different to the first one. In the current state of the game, this should produce more variation in which maps are up and running.
There is now also ability for you to invite a friend to join public rooms in addition to private rooms via the ‘Join specific room’ option. Like going to a skate park or spot in real life it’s a great way to hang out with your friend while also skating with a full room of other skaters.

Some insights into the new room logic (It’s a little complex, but perhaps interesting to see how the flow works..)

Exiting the game
We realize the escape button has worked until now in an unusual way, closing the game immediately when pushed. Pushing escape on the keyboard now takes you to the menu system and there is an added ‘Exit Game’ option to choose within this menu. A tiny QOL change to mention here, but we realize this has been frustrating enough for some players that a mod with 12k downloads was even created to amend it (shout out to M4cs and TrizlyBear). This change brings SXL in line with almost every other game ever made!!
