After hosting an open beta for their multiplayer on PC for the past four months, Easy Day Studios has officially brought multiplayer to all platforms with Skater XL! With the release of the multiplayer free skate mode, players can join random lobbies or create their own private ones to invite friends into. This gives up to 10 players the ability to jump into an online skate session together.

Online lobbies will have the same replay editor functionality found in single-player that can be used in the new online mode, giving players the ability to save and edit group party lines, individual tricks, and memorable in-game events. Plus, the update includes performance improvements for consoles, with increased frame rate and a significantly smoother feel to gameplay, especially on base model units. You can also freshen your character’s style with the new shoes from New Balance and éS Footwear, as well as an apparel capsule from Dickies with more gear and accessories on the way.

This multiplayer mode option is literally one of the issues I thought the game was missing when I reviewed it last year, so glad to see it finally added. Better start planning some games and practicing my tricks because the multiplayer free skate mode is on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 right now! Check out the trailer above featuring skateboard pros Tom Asta, Tiago Lemos, Evan Smith, and Brandon Westgate - all of which are in-game character options.
