SkateBIRD features combined a series of accessibility-minded options to ease rapid inputs and hand travel.

Players can toggle the ability to push automatically when the ollie button is held down, merge the ollie button with flip tricks/grinds/grabs to reduce right-hand inputs, and alter the game speed to customize their experience however they see fit.

“SkateBIRD is all about trying your best, and we want to make sure everyone can shred,” said Megan Fox. “We hope our accessibility options allow players to have the best experience possible.”

SkateBIRD flutters to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility, and PC via Steam, Itch.io, Xbox Game Pass, and Amazon Luna Aug.12, 2021.
