Evaluation

Session: Skate Sim launched on September 22, 2022 and has been receiving steady post-launch support ever since. The developer, crea-ture Studios, has shipped six major content releases since launch — including paid map DLC packs for locations like New York, Waterpark, Abandoned Mall, Paris, Prague, and El Lay (October 29, 2025) — alongside frequent gameplay patches and quality-of-life improvements. A "Year 1 Pack" (December 2023) and "Year 2 Pack" (December 2024) bundling prior DLC were also released. On March 26, 2026, the developer published a 2026 roadmap explicitly describing updates and new content currently in development. The roadmap intentionally omits specific release dates, with the studio stating they want to avoid committing to timelines too early and will share more precise timing as features approach completion. This was followed by a May 7, 2026 developer blog delivering new throwdown/pickup animations and further gameplay improvements — the most recent communication from the studio. A September 2024 developer blog also provided broader studio context: crea-ture confirmed Session remains in active production alongside a second unannounced project, and announced they had dropped plans for an Unreal Engine 5 transition in favor of a more focused approach to improving the existing game. A February 2026 blog confirmed the studio decided against in-game social features, redirecting that effort toward other gameplay improvements. The game is clearly in ongoing development with a published roadmap for 2026 and very recent developer activity. All currently listed DLC has been released, but the 2026 roadmap signals that new content continues to be planned and worked on.

About this game


With the dual stick controls, each stick represents one of your feet. You will need to learn how to control them and transfer weight, just like on a real skateboard. The physics have been developed with a focus on realism, smoothness and immersion. Just like in real life for a new skateboarder, the first hours can seem challenging, but once you have mastered the technique, you will feel the unrivalled thrill of pulling off your very first kickflip! Session: Skate Sim also includes full options customisation, so you can enjoy the perfect experience tailored to you. A full tutorial provides all the help you need to get started, and you can choose from four difficulty levels!


Inspired by the golden age of street skating – the 1990s – Session: Skate Sim lets you experience true skateboarding and its culture: no scoring system; just you, your spot and your imagination! There's no need for judges to tell you that your noseslide or varial heelflip are perfect for this spot. And because certain locations are iconic, the developers have added several of them to the game for you to skate in and express your creativity, including Black Hubbas (New York City), Brooklyn banks (New York City), FDR Park (Philadelphia) and many other spots.


Skating and pulling off the best lines in the best spots is one thing, but if no one is there to film it, it didn't really happen… In Session: Skate Sim, you can film with a 1990s filter or fisheye lens, and you can use the video editor to create your clips and share them. You can play with multiple options, including changing the field of view, time of day, filters, and different camera views (tripod, orbit, etc.). Session: Skate Sim also offers the chance to go from skater to filmmaker: pull off your moves then go into film mode to experience the action from the point of view of your camera operator and create the best clip.


Show off your style with an extensive customisation system for your skater and skateboard. By completing challenges, you earn money to spend in skate shops. You can find nearly 200 items (hoodies, shoes, caps, T-shirts, trousers, etc.) from top brands, such as Fallen, Zero, GrindKing, Thankyou, HIJINX Net, Antilanta, Roger Skate CO, No-Comply, iDabble and others. You can also customise your skateboard with over 250 parts, such as wheels, trucks and many other components from famous brands like, No-Comply, GindKing, Thankyou and many others. In addition to the design aspect, the components (trucks, riser pads, wheels…) impact the way you skate. Find the right ones for your style and shred the most iconic spots!
