Skate Story Drops Day One on PlayStation Plus Game Catalog
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Skate Story is launching day one on the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for PS5 on December 8, giving Extra and Premium subscribers immediate access to the cosmic skateboarding indie at no extra cost.
Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Sam Eng have confirmed that Skate Story is launching day one for the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on PlayStation 5. According to a recent PlayStation.Blog post covered by IGN South Africa, subscribers on the Extra and Premium tiers will get access to the trippy skateboarding adventure at no extra cost on December 8. This late addition bolsters the game's broader launch lineup, which spans PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
First revealed back in 2022, Skate Story trades standard urban street spots for a surreal cosmic journey. Players step into the glass shoes of an underworld demon made entirely of glass and pain. The narrative kicks off when the devil hands this fragile protagonist a skateboard with one clear objective: skate to the moon, swallow it, and earn your freedom. It is a striking visual and thematic departure from traditional sports titles, leaning heavily into atmospheric vibes that should play very well with the streaming and creator crowd.
For subscription service members, day one catalog drops continue to be a major win in an era where game prices keep climbing. Instead of taking a gamble on an indie release with a unique artistic vision, players can dive straight in without opening their wallets further. Sony has yet to reveal the rest of the December 2025 lineup for the service, but landing a high profile artistic indie right out of the gate sets a strong tone for the month. Original reporting comes via Michael Cripe at IGN South Africa, with further details available at their original URL.
