Full Circle, the studio behind the Skate reboot, has announced a number of layoffs at the studio as part of a plan to ‘reshape’ the developer to “better support” the game’s “long-term future.”
The developer posted the following statement on its official website:
Since launching Early Access in September, tens of millions of you have stepped into San Vansterdam. Your passion, creativity, and feedback have reinforced our belief in what Skate can become. As Skate continues to evolve, we’re transforming as a studio. We’re reshaping Full Circle to better support Skate’s long-term future and focus the team on the things that matter most to you – and making those things great.
These shifts mean making changes to our team structure, and some roles will be impacted. The teammates affected are talented colleagues and friends who helped build the foundation of Skate. Their creativity and dedication are deeply ingrained in what players experience today. This decision is not a reflection of their impact and we’re committed to supporting them through this transition.
Back in November last year, Full Circle issued a statement on its official website conceding that things haven’t gone quite as smoothly for Skate as they had hoped, and were in the process of addressing various issues reported by players. The game was released into Early Access on September 16, 2025.
“We’re tweaking and fixing the game – some of it on the fly, and some of it as part of longer-term improvements. But, things will continue to change and improve,” Full Circle said at the time.
