Do an ollie!
by Aidan O'Brien · ShacknewsSkate. Early Access will be arriving very soon, and despite the oddly branded name, I am very much looking forward to it. You will be able to play on PC via the EA App, Steam, and Epic Game Stores starting on September 16. If you are wondering if you have the specs needed to run the game, and what kind of performance you can expect, then read on.

Frankly, I am pleasantly surprised by these. Modern PC components are getting more and more expensive, and sometimes it seems like developers are struggling to get strong performance from them. Thankfully, the Skate. team appears to have cracked the code, or at least made smart art direction choices, as a 3070Ti is enough muscle to get you to 4K performance.
The game should be well within reach of most players these days, as the lower end of the specs pretty much matches up perfectly with the most common components in the Steam User Survey.
