Two unfinished games – Skater XL (basically a mod platform with no real career) – Session (solid mechanics but still janky and underbaked after years in Early Access)

Two emulated games – Skate 2 – Skate 3

…and that’s it. EA had a 15-year window to deliver a polished Skate 4 and instead launched a live-service experiment. Now the only way to get a complete, authentic skateboarding experience is to emulate decade-old titles or play unfinished indie sims.

    There’s also Grind Session (legally distinct THPS, but not as gravity defying as THPS gets), and Thrasher Skate and Destroy (it’s sorta more realistic like Skate is to a degree). Both on the PS1, of which makes them filed under emulating decades old games as well.
