Surreal Skateboarding Sim Skate Story Hits PS Plus on Day One
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Surreal skateboarding sim Skate Story is launching on December 8, 2025, with a day one release on the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers, alongside versions for Steam and Nintendo Switch.
Surreal indie title Skate Story is bringing its unique brand of demonic kickflips to subscription libraries right at launch. Developer Sam Eng and publisher Devolver Digital have confirmed that the glass and pain skateboarding adventure will arrive on December 8, 2025. Alongside its scheduled releases on Steam and Nintendo Switch, PlayStation has announced that the game will be available immediately as part of the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers. Originally announced several years ago and subjected to a few development delays, the game is finally ready to let players skate toward the moon.
For those unfamiliar with the premise, Skate Story casts you as a fragile demon in the Underworld with a rather unusual mission. You have to ollie, grind, and kickflip your way through ash and smoke, destroying demons and rescuing tortured souls on a journey to swallow the moon. It blends classic trick mechanics with striking visual design and an intense atmosphere, standing out as one of the more distinct releases in recent memory. If you want to test out the handling before the full release, a playable demo is currently live on Steam.
Landing a day one spot on a major subscription service like PlayStation Plus is a massive win for an indie project of this scale. It guarantees an immediate player base across console and cloud ecosystems, driving instant community engagement and word of mouth on streaming platforms. With a modest retail price of eighteen dollars for those buying it outright, the game offers an accessible entry point for anyone looking to add something genuinely different to their rotation this December.
