Check if the Skate servers are down or if the issues are on your end.
EA has just released its long-awaited Skate game into early access, and it's a true sequel to the beloved Skate 3. However, one of the major elements that has changed in the new Skate is its online-only nature. You can't play Skate without joining a public lobby full of other real players, which is either a good or bad thing depending on your opinion. Regardless of your feelings on the online part of Skate, though, you'll still have to deal with EA's servers.
In the early part of Skate's life, the servers have been malfunctioning quite a lot to the point where players can't even enter a lobby for hours on end. While EA will likely figure out the stability side of things in the future, an online-only game means the servers will always be a point of concern. Whether you're experiencing server problems now or later, you can check out the guide below to see how to check the server status in Skate.
How to check the server status in Skate
With Skate being such a new title, there are only a couple of concrete ways to check the server status to see if the servers are in fact acting up. If you find the servers are to blame, then your only course of action will be to wait out the problem and hope EA resolves any issue quickly. However, if the servers are working fine, then you'll have to diagnose your connectivity problems on your end.
Below, you can see all the different ways to check the server status in Skate:
- Visit the official Skate social media account and check for updates on the game's server status
- Check the official EA server status website, which allows you to check every individual game and the status of its servers. This will also let you know if EA as a whole is experiencing server problems
- Go to the Down Detector page for Skate and see if other players are experiencing issues with the servers. Down Detector compiles player reports on server problems, so this will let you know if others are having issues as well.
As of right now, those three methods are the easiest and quickest ways to check the server status for Skate. If you check all three sources and can't find evidence of the servers acting up, then the problem likely lies on your end.
In this case, you'll want to check your own Internet connection, your game application, or your system itself. Uninstalling and reinstalling Skate, rebooting your router, or restarting your system are the best ways to try and solve any server problem you're experiencing.
Hopefully, EA finds a way to stabilize the Skate servers soon so everyone can enjoy their time in San Vansterdam without the threat of being kicked offline at any moment.
