The FAQ for the playtest reads, 'We can’t guarantee how soon you’ll get to play. You can sign up to playtest Skate 4 right here (opens in new tab), but keep in mind that the game is still in very early development, and there's no roadmap or hint as to when the playtest will actually occur.

'We need to scale access to Skate gradually as development progresses to ensure a smooth experience, and that means we can’t guarantee how soon you’ll get to play.'

Yes, there is a Skate 4 playtest, and you can sign up to try and get access. And since Skate 4 will be shaped by player feedback, we expect that the visuals and gameplay will shape and shift quite a bit as production progresses.

The video is cleverly leaning into the hype by giving us just a morsel of pre-pre-pre-alpha footage that will only have fans wanting more. The footage shows off some of the movement and tricks you can expect to pull off, but the character models and environments are clearly still being worked on.

Recently, EA finally gave us some Skate 4 content in the means of 'pre-pre-pre-alpha' footage (EA's words, no ours).
