Looking to get a little more out of your video game-skating experience? Skater XL has you covered with a plethora of community creations.
Skate community
Promised and now delivered is the addition of community-created content for Skater XL. The unique skate title, which launched earlier this year from Easy Day Studios, has been freshened with a hefty dose of new stuff as of yesterday.
In total, more than 250 pieces of new content have made their way into the game. Yes, that’s a ton of stuff, and it’s pretty varied as well. There’s everything from new maps to fresh gear and even skater-skins out right now. Easy Day Studios says there’s more to come as well, as this is just the first drop of what’s planned to be a steady set of arrivals.
“This is such a huge step towards what we always thought skateboarding games should become – an open, creative platform driven by the community,” stated Dain Hedgpeth, Co-Founder at Easy Day Studios. “It’s been mind blowing seeing the volume and quality of content coming out of the Skater XL ecosystem. Now, players on all platforms will have this ever growing marketplace of maps, skins and fakeskate gear available and built right into the game experience.”
