The trailer looks amazing! Love that it's coming to PS4 too since not everyone in India has upgraded to next-gen consoles yet. Hope the microtransactions aren't too aggressive though.

Free-to-download but I hope they don't make it pay-to-win. Indian gamers are tired of predatory monetization. Still, excited to try this on my Xbox Series S! 🎮

The open world looks massive! Hope my PC can handle it. Indian internet speeds might be a challenge for smooth multiplayer though. Fingers crossed for good optimization.

As someone who grew up playing Skate 2, this feels like coming home! The church-turned-skatepark concept is brilliant. Can't wait to explore all four neighborhoods with friends from college 😊

Cross-progression is a blessing for Indian gamers who play on multiple devices. Hope the early access isn't too buggy. EA's track record with launches has been... mixed.
