Session: Skate Sim - PlayStation 5

Inspired by the golden age of street skating, the 1990s, Session: Skate Sim is a tribute to the authentic culture of skateboarding. It’s a game that lets you experience the thrill, creativity, and freedom of the sport in its purest form. There’s no scoring system; it’s just you, your spot, and your imagination. You’re the one who decides what tricks are perfect for each spot. The developers have meticulously recreated several iconic skate locations for you to explore and express your creativity. These include Black Hubbas and Brooklyn Banks in New York City, FDR Park in Philadelphia, and many other spots that have been etched into the annals of skateboarding history. Each location is a canvas, waiting for you to leave your mark with your unique style and skill.

Session: Skate Sim introduces an innovative dual stick control system, where each stick represents one of your feet. This system brings a level of realism and immersion that is unparalleled in the genre. You’ll need to master the controls, learning how to shift your weight and balance, just as you would on a real skateboard. It’s a challenge, but one that is rewarding and satisfying, mirroring the journey of learning to skate in real life.

But Session: Skate Sim is more than just a game about skateboarding. It’s also a game about the culture and community that surrounds the sport. You can go from being a skater to a filmmaker, capturing your best moves and sharing them with the world. The game features a film mode that lets you experience the action from the point of view of your camera operator. You can create clips that showcase your skills and creativity, adding another layer of depth and engagement to the game.

Completing challenges in the game earns you money, which you can spend in skate shops. These shops are stocked with nearly 200 items from top skateboarding brands, such as Fallen and Zero. You can customize your skateboard with over 250 parts, each of which will impact the way you skate. This level of customization allows you to create a board that truly reflects your style and approach to skateboarding.
