SkaterXL is a skateboarding game that was developed and published by Easy Day Studios Ply Ltd and was released on July 28, 2020 for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Windows. It was announced for Nintendo Switch with an initial release date in 2020, but was then delayed until 2021, but as of January 6, 2022 hasn’t been released.
The game is more than just the traditional hitting a button and doing a trick, each thumbstick controls a foot and if you have a misstep, you can mess up your trick. With each thumbstick controlling a different leg, it gives a much more realistic approach to skating than Tony Hawk or even Skate. The game is mainly free play, but there are tutorials and trick challenges for every level to complete. There’s also a built in video editor that you can save clips of your runs.
