Skate developer Full Circle announces layoffs

skate has made its grand return in the form of a live service from Electronic Arts and Full Circle. The game was released in Early Access on September 16, 2025. Today, the developer Full Circle announced an undisclosed number of layoffs for the studio.

In the statement shared on its website, Full Circle states that as skate continues to evolve, “we are transforming as a studio. We’re reshaping Full Circle to better support skate.’s long-term future and focus the team on the things that matter most to you – and making those things great.”

“These shifts mean making changes to our team structure, and some roles will be impacted. The teammates affected are talented colleagues and friends who helped build the foundation of skate. Their creativity and dedication are deeply ingrained in what players experience today. This decision is not a reflection of their impact and we’re committed to supporting them through this transition.

Our work on  skate. continues. We look forward to working with you as we move faster, listen more closely, and deliver consistently for all of you. Our commitment to skate., and to the millions of players who believe in it, remains strong.

To our departing teammates: thank you. skate. exists because of your hard work and dedication to the craft. 

To our community: thank you for your passion and trust.”

skate is available to play now in Early Access for Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app.

In January, Full Circle implemented an update to skate that adds Photo Mode and New Game+ to its story mode.
