Flip Axis Studios has unveiled a new multiplayer VR skateboarding game titled Virtual Skate, designed for both Quest 3 and SteamVR.

This physics-based skating simulator promises an immersive experience where players can perform tricks like Ollies and grinds in virtual reality.

Leading the development of Virtual Skate is Jon West, a veteran in the gaming industry known for his work on the skating game Skater XL.

The game features an intuitive physics-based system that allows players to have full 3D control over their feet using hand tracking, enhancing the overall skating experience.

Virtual Skate aims to provide a realistic skating experience without the physical risks of injuries, making it suitable for both seasoned skaters and newcomers.

It specifically caters to older players who may not skate as aggressively and offers an alternative for those unable to skate outdoors due to weather conditions.

Players will be able to connect with friends to skate together and record their sessions, with a feature that allows capturing and sharing tricks during multiplayer gameplay.

For those interested in following the game's development, updates can be found on the official website and through the Discord channel, which will also provide news on beta testing and release information.

A gameplay teaser showcasing the game's features was released on April 16, 2025, generating excitement among potential players.

While no specific launch date has been announced, the game is expected to be available soon for VR headsets.

Virtual Skate is part of a growing trend in VR skateboarding games, following the earlier release of VR Skater by Deficit Games.

The game's physics-based system allows for more realistic board control and trick execution, avoiding the limitations of pre-set animations.
