why is skate not out yet

The game Skate is actually already out in Early Access as of September 16, 2025. The staggered server launches depending on the region caused some confusion, and the large number of players trying to log in simultaneously has made the servers unstable, leading to connection issues for many players. The full official release of Skate is still expected later, likely in 2026, after about six months of Early Access optimizations and content updates. So, Skate is not "not out yet" but rather in Early Access with ongoing server stability challenges due to high demand and early-stage bugs.
