ReSkate

ReSkate is a free, open-source, fan-made platform for skate., the free-to-play skateboarding game from EA and Full Circle (many players still call it “Skate 4”). It lets you play the game offline, host your own lobbies and dedicated servers, and load mods such as custom maps and clothing. It runs on top of your own Steam copy of skate.: it does not replace or pirate the game.

The project’s source code is public on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license, and its first release (v1.0.0) came out on October 2, 2026. It has been updated almost daily since then.

What ReSkate adds to skate.

• Offline play. No EA servers needed. Progress is saved on your PC and the game even runs with Steam closed.
• Your own multiplayer. Host a Steam lobby for up to 32 players (public, by code, or with a password), or join community dedicated servers from an in-game server browser. It has proximity voice chat, text chat, parties and throwdowns. See multiplayer and servers.
• Mods. Drop a mod into the Mods folder, or browse and install mods from the ReSkate community on Thunderstore right inside the launcher. Custom maps, cosmetics, loading screens and music are all possible. See ReSkate mods.
• An in-game menu. Press Insert for the ReSkate menu: map and fast travel, time of day, a Park Editor, first-person and other skater options. ~ opens a command console.
• A launcher that manages the game. It downloads the exact game build ReSkate supports (Steam build 25414733) into its own folder, so a Steam update to skate. cannot break your setup.

Current version

Version numbers move fast; you will see guides that mention 1.0.x, 1.1.x or 2.0.x. The Releases page is always the source of truth, and the launcher updates itself when a new release is out.

How to get it, in short

1. Download ReSkate-<version>.zip from the official GitHub Releases.
2. Extract ReSkateLauncher.exe and ReSkate.dll into a new, empty folder (not Steam’s skate. folder).
3. Run the launcher, sign in to the Steam account that owns skate., and let it install the supported game build (about 14 GB).
4. Press PLAY.

The full walkthrough, including Linux, is on ReSkate download and install.

What ReSkate is not

ReSkate is not an official EA product, not a way to get skate. without owning it, and not a cheat. It only loads into the game when you start it from ReSkateLauncher.exe; pressing Play in your Steam library still starts the normal, online version of skate. If EA ever changes its stance on the project, we will update this page with its status and what still works.
