Just to think a few years ago there was a desperate drought of skateboarding simulators. However, before the likes of Tony Hawk remakes & the latest Skate reboot, there was Sam Eng’s Skate Story. “Skate Story does something different and pursues to be an experience of its own with no set objectives or any laid out text telling you what to do,” Rectify Gaming wrote for its first impressions on Skate Story back in 2020.

And since then, the title has spruced to becoming cult status with each showcase for the indie title. Previously, we’ve seen Skate Story in presentations like Day of the Dev back in 2020 for the first Summer Game Fest. It wouldn’t be until more recently with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 that Skate Story would receive a confirmed release date for December 2025 and featuring listed platforms.

Now this week, Sony Interactive Entertainment reveals that alongside welcoming Skate Story to PlayStation 5 next month, it will also be a featured day one release on PlayStation Plus as well. Earlier this year, the same came for Remedy Entertainment’s FBC: Firebreak that was featured on both Xbox & PlayStation services and the same attention will now be given to Skate Story.

“Celestial skateboarding, a deal with the Devil, and giant philosophizing heads? Skate Story is far from your everyday action sports tale, which you’ll be finding out soon enough when it flips onto PS5 December 8 as a PlayStation Plus Game Catalog day one release,” the blog post reads. It is clarified that Skate Story will only be included in the Game Catalog available to only Extra & Premium subscribers.

“After an intense introduction to the basics and skating into an unusual Lyceum full of giant stone heads pondering the meaning of life, Skate Story opens up into a wider adventure that dramatically goes beyond the first steps of the demon’s cosmos shaking quest. […] It was an experience which left me wanting to see where this celestial journey would take me next,” contributor Corey Botherson wrote for his hands-on with Skate Story.
