This week, the Skate[1] franchise returned as a free game[2] after a 15-year hiatus. Players are currently exploring the city of San Vansterdam and discovering its secrets. One fan has already found a glitch that lets players slow their falls to a crawl as long as they’re clapping on the way down.
Reddit user SurWesley[3] shared a video demonstrating the glitch by skating off M-Corp title. To pull off this controlled descent, players need to press the emote button while bailing and keep holding on to it. According to SurWesley, the Third Eye emote can also enable a slow fall.
It’s possible that this glitch could be removed from Skate in a future update. But since it doesn’t break the game, it could be potentially be kept as well.
Skate allows players to explore four different neighborhoods that have essentially been turned into giant skate parks following M-Corps’ decision to abandon the city of San Vansterdamn. The game has already surpassed 78,000 concurrent players on Steam[4], and that number may continue to rise. EA has already set up Skate server queues[5] to deal with the influx of players.
For optimum results with Skate, these are the best settings for the game[6] to make it feel like the classic Skate titles. Players can also choose to turn off the narrator, Vee.
Skate is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
