You play as a street skater exploring urban locations inspired by real skate spots. The game emphasizes skating at your own pace, with no scoring system; challenges and missions provide objectives alongside open-ended sessions.
Each thumbstick controls one foot on the board, so tricks involve coordinated stick movements, timing, and balance rather than preset button combinations. You can perform flips and grinds, adjust control and physics options across difficulty settings, and learn through practice and a tutorial.
Find spots for lines, then use film mode and the replay editor to frame and create clips. Completing challenges earns money for clothing and skateboard parts; components such as wheels and trucks also affect how the board handles.
Players who enjoy Session often praise its foot-based dual-stick controls and realistic, technical approach to street skating. Many describe the steep learning process as worthwhile because landing a trick or completing a line feels rewarding, and some value the freedom to explore spots and film clips. Reviews also frequently mention frustrations with the difficulty, bugs or unclear mission requirements, and rough edges in the physics and presentation.
With the dual stick controls, each stick represents one of your feet. You will need to learn how to control them and transfer weight, just like on a real skateboard. The physics have been developed with a focus on realism, smoothness and immersion. Just like in real life for a new skateboarder, the first hours can seem challenging, but once you have mastered the technique, you will feel the unrivalled thrill of pulling off your very first kickflip! Session: Skate Sim also includes full options customisation, so you can enjoy the perfect experience tailored to you. A full tutorial provides all the help you need to get started, and you can choose from four difficulty levels!
Inspired by the golden age of street skating – the 1990s – Session: Skate Sim lets you experience true skateboarding and its culture: no scoring system; just you, your spot and your imagination! There's no need for judges to tell you that your noseslide or varial heelflip are perfect for this spot. And because certain locations are iconic, the developers have added several of them to the game for you to skate in and express your creativity, including Black Hubbas (New York City), Brooklyn banks (New York City), FDR Park (Philadelphia) and many other spots.
Skating and pulling off the best lines in the best spots is one thing, but if no one is there to film it, it didn't really happen… In Session: Skate Sim, you can film with a 1990s filter or fisheye lens, and you can use the video editor to create your clips and share them. You can play with multiple options, including changing the field of view, time of day, filters, and different camera views (tripod, orbit, etc.). Session: Skate Sim also offers the chance to go from skater to filmmaker: pull off your moves then go into film mode to experience the action from the point of view of your camera operator and create the best clip.
Show off your style with an extensive customisation system for your skater and skateboard. By completing challenges, you earn money to spend in skate shops. You can find nearly 200 items (hoodies, shoes, caps, T-shirts, trousers, etc.) from top brands, such as Fallen, Zero, GrindKing, Thankyou, HIJINX Net, Antilanta, Roger Skate CO, No-Comply, iDabble and others. You can also customise your skateboard with over 250 parts, such as wheels, trucks and many other components from famous brands like, No-Comply, GindKing, Thankyou and many others. In addition to the design aspect, the components (trucks, riser pads, wheels…) impact the way you skate. Find the right ones for your style and shred the most iconic spots!
