As mentioned, players will have the chance to join the Skate 4 playtest and jump into all the action before the title officially releases. To be eligible for the playtest period, players must sign up/sign in to the EA Sports playtest program.

The sign-up is free of cost, but you'll have to agree to a few terms and stipulations in order to be eligible for the Skate 4 playtest. Sharing any videos, captures, screenshots, or streaming of anything in the game is prohibited. It's also an invite-only basis from the game developers, so there's no guarantee you'll be selected.

EA Sports didn't provide a date yet for either the playtest or the full release of Skate 4, but the progress update is certainly promising. We'll be sure to monitor the situation and keep you updated should there be more juicy Skate 4 news.
