Skater XL Update
The latest free update for Skater XL has been announced and it brings a 10 player free-skate mode to the game, along with a number of other features.

Adding to the experience, the same replay editor functionality found in single-player can be found in the new online mode, giving players the ability to save and edit group party lines, individual tricks and memorable in-game events.
The update also includes months of work on performance improvements for consoles, with increased frame rate and a significantly smoother feel to gameplay, especially on base model units. Whether it’s mastering a complex trick line in DTLA offline or soaring off the Big Ramp with a squad online, Skater XL’s gameplay and controls are feeling better than ever.
Need some fresh new gear to premiere during an online Skater XL session? We got you covered as this update includes new shoes from New Balance and éS Footwear, as well as an apparel capsule from Dickies with more gear and accessories on the way.”
