You can sign up to playtest Skate 4 right here, but keep in mind that the game is still in very early development, and there's no roadmap or hint as to when the playtest will actually occur. 'We need to scale access to Skate gradually as development progresses to ensure a smooth experience, and that means we can’t guarantee how soon you’ll get to play.' According to the official EA page, here's what to expect: 'As a Skate insider, you have the chance to play early versions of the game and provide feedback throughout our development journey,' the sign-up blurb reads. Yes, there is a Skate 4 playtest, and you can sign up to try and get access. And since Skate 4 will be shaped by player feedback, we expect that the visuals and gameplay will shape and shift quite a bit as production progresses.

The visuals of the video may surprise you, but as our own Joe Donnelly writes, ' Skate 4 is leveraging its own hype to entice fans and newcomers alike.' The video is cleverly leaning into the hype by giving us just a morsel of pre-pre-pre-alpha footage that will only have fans wanting more.

The footage shows off some of the movement and tricks you can expect to pull off, but the character models and environments are clearly still being worked on.

Recently, EA finally gave us some Skate 4 content in the means of 'pre-pre-pre-alpha' footage (EA's words, no ours).
