Skate Story Rolls Into PS Plus With A Wild Day-One Surprise
So, there’s a pretty interesting update for PlayStation fans, and honestly, it’s one of those announcements that instantly grabs attention. The long-awaited surreal skateboarding game Skate Story is finally arriving on December 8 — and here’s the fun part — it’s being dropped straight into the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on day one. That means PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers are getting full access right at launch without paying the usual price tag.
Now, if you haven’t heard of Skate Story before, the premise alone is enough to make you pause for a second. The game has been described as a sort of Lynchian twist on skateboarding — a mix of dreamy visuals, eerie atmosphere, and storytelling that leans more into the abstract. You play as a demon made entirely of glass and pain, which might be one of the most strangely poetic character descriptions we’ve come across. The Devil hands you a skateboard and gives you a deal: skate all the way to the Moon, swallow it, and you’ll earn your freedom. As bizarre as that sounds, it fits perfectly with the game’s tone.

The journey has you performing tricks while battling vicious demons, helping random tortured souls like a forgetful frog, and pushing through a beautifully twisted version of the Underworld. And yes, the game fully commits to its weirdness. One moment you're shattering into pieces when falling, and the next you're landing a sweet backside tailslide like it's nothing. The contrast is part of what makes it stand out.
What makes this release even more exciting is that Skate Story has been in development since 2020, and people have been waiting a long time to finally get their hands on it. The developer, Sam Eng — known for the indie title Zarvot — teamed up with Devolver Digital, a publisher famous for supporting quirky, unique concepts. They’ve published gems like Cult of the Lamb and Ball x Pit , so this game fits right into their wheelhouse.
For PlayStation fans, getting this as a free day-one addition is a big win, especially considering that the Switch and Steam versions are priced at $20. It’s not coming to Xbox at the moment, so this is a pretty nice exclusive advantage for the PS5 crowd. And if you’re not a PS Plus subscriber, the game will still be available for purchase on the PlayStation Store once it launches.
A demo is already live on Steam, for anyone curious enough to try it first. But with the PS Plus release lined up for December 8, it feels like a perfect moment for players to jump into something fresh, visually striking, and just delightfully strange.
