EA and Full Circle, in partnership with X Games, are bringing the adrenaline fueled competition of X Games to the streets of San Vansterdam. From July 21 through August 25, skate.’s Stadium, which opened at the start of Season 4, will completely transform into the home of X Games San Van, and feature X Games inspired challenges, tasks, cosmetics and more. These additions mark another step forward in skate.’s ongoing focus on authentic skate culture, delivering a massive, multi-phase experience that enables players to transition from local street skaters to world stage X Games legends.
As Season 4 unfolds, San Vansterdam is hosting its own celebration by resurrecting a classic event from its history, The San Van Open. From July 21 through August 25, the Stadium will transform into an X Games inspired venue, with a redesigned layout based on the MoonPay X Games League Championship course in New Orleans. Players will explore a new themed street park, take on a unique competition bowl and ride a massive vert ramp, via open access during and beyond the X Games event window.

“X Games has always been about giving the world’s best skateboarders a stage to push what’s possible,” said Jeremy Bloom, X Games CEO. “Bringing that experience into skate. lets millions of players compete on an authentic X Games League course, represent their clubs, and experience the intensity, progression and creativity that define our sport. It’s a natural extension of what we’re building.”
The X Games event also introduces a progression system packed with new missions, several challenges inspired by iconic moments in X Games history and unique team tasks co-designed around the signature tricks of real X Games athletes. For the first time, challenges are brought to life with voiceover from X Games athlete Dashawn Jordan, adding an extra layer of authenticity and energy to the experience. Sets of X Games Club Tasks are themed around Los Angeles, São Paulo, New York and Tokyo skate scenes, and each are built around legendary tricks from these regions. Fan-favorite Spot Battles return with a new competitive twist and party sizes and Co-op Challenges have expanded to support up to eight players.
Players can also earn a variety of exclusive in-game rewards, including backgrounds, icons and standout team jerseys for Los Angeles, São Paulo, New York and Tokyo. Alongside earnable rewards, players can customize their crews and express themselves with uniquely authentic X Games League cosmetics available in the store.
“Working closely with the X Games team, we set out to capture the energy and intensity of the X Games League Finals course and bring that into San Vansterdam in a way that feels authentic to both worlds,” said Deran Chung, Senior Creative Director at Full Circle. “From the layout to the flow of each line, this was about translating a real-world competition experience into something players can explore and make their own.”
