Skater XL Is Up for Preorder for PS4, Xbox One, and PC

After a slight delay, Skater XL is set to release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on July 28, with a Nintendo Switch version to follow later in the year. If you're interested, you don't have to wait to secure a copy for yourself; it's already up for preorder at a number of retailers. Unlike most skating games, developer Easy Day Studios says, no tricks are pre-programmed into Skater XL. Instead, all the tricks you pull off are the result of your control inputs interacting with the game's physics. Each thumbstick controls one of your character's feet, so you'll have to twiddle them just right to pull off the tricks you want to do. The developers say this control scheme takes some getting used to, but it's fun once you get the hang of it. If you're ready to go all-in on Skater XL, you can place a preorder at a number of retailers right now. Here's where you can find it.

Unlike many games, Skater XL isn't getting a bunch special editions. If you want it, you only have one SKU to choose from. Note that the Switch version isn't available yet, and that the PC version requires a controller to play (keyboards don't have thumbsticks, after all. On the plus side, the game is currently in early access on PC, and it costs half as much as the console edition (at least for now).
