    Skate hits early access in 2025.

    More details about the game (which is stylized as skate., period included) will be announced in “the coming months,” according to a post on X.

    The game will be free to play, which its developers told me two years ago was a “natural evolution of the franchise.”

    RIP TouchArcade.

    The site, which focused on mobile gaming, is shutting down after 16 years. “The truth of the matter is that a website like ours just doesn’t make money anymore,” says editor-in-chief Jared Nelson. The website’s content will remain online, and the team is “hoping” to continue with its podcast, The TouchArcade Show.
