New level, tricks, and missions also come to Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC versions
SEATTLE – April 26, 2023 – SkateBIRD, the avian action sports game from Glass Bottom Games, catches some gnarly air Thursday, June 1, 2023 on PlayStation 5|4. The latest update will also come to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility, PC via Steam, Itch.io, and Amazon Luna versions.
Drop into every skateboarder’s dream — if that dream involves being a small bird with Hardflips on lock. Tear up the latest and greatest map in the game, Skate Haven, as skating legend Anthony Hawk. He’s been away from the scene for a while and has encountered some problems during his time away from the flock, but the power of rad sessions can help get him back on his talons.
Lead the way and motivate aspiring young skatebirds with Anthony Hawk’s comeback. Snap perfect photo opps for the ‘gram with the newly implemented Selfie-Stick camera mode. Master both the board and camera angles to better catch those low viewpoints ideal for perfect lines.
Fill up the FANCY meter and chalk up huge session scores by combining flip tricks, grinds, and tailslides without bailing. Land massive 720 degree twists, rack up combos, and complete missions while reaching for the skies with endless combo opportunities. More importantly, don’t forget to give ‘em a good squawkin’ for extra points.
Grind rails with infinite style for miles with SkateBIRD’s wicked customization options. Set the sesh vibes with enough options to accommodate any tiny bird’s desire. Swap headgear, bird types and colors, good old spectacles, along with several newly added board graphics and wheels to unlock for the steeziest of combos. Get groovy to the official four track SkateBIRD EP, a new mini-album available now on Bandcamp, Spotify, and iTunes.
“After winning a Game of the Year in the category of music with NintendoForce, we’re stoked to be making SkateBIRD accessible to an entirely new community of PlayStation users,” said Megan Fox, founder, Glass Bottom Games. “As well, we are continuing the pursuit of flight by bringing a plethora of new content to our established band of birds on other platforms.”
SkateBIRD launches on PS4 and PS5 on Thursday, June 1, 2023 for $19.99 and is currently available digitally on PC via itch and Steam, Nintendo Switch, Amazon Luna, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S for $19.99, and physically for Nintendo Switch via Amazon for $34.99, with language support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
