Out Today: Skater XL Is on Sale for 18% Off

3 years 8 months ago
Skater XL is now available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. A Nintendo Switch version is scheduled to follow later in the year. 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 pick it up now at a number of retailers. Here's where you can find it.
