How to Download and Install ReSkate (v2.0.7)

Step-by-step ReSkate download and install guide: get the launcher from GitHub, point it at your skate. game folder, and verify the in-game menu in five minutes.

Last updated: 2026-10-15

ReSkate is a free, open-source mod platform for skate., the free-to-play skating game from EA's Full Circle studio. This ReSkate download guide walks through getting the launcher from the official GitHub releases, installing it against your Steam copy of skate., and confirming the mod menu shows up in game. The current release is v2.0.7, published October 12, 2026.

What you need before installing ReSkate

Before you download ReSkate, confirm three things on your PC. First, skate. must be installed through Steam and fully updated, because the launcher targets specific game builds. Second, you need roughly 200 MB of free space for the launcher, runtime, and mod files. Third, run Steam as a normal user; launching the game through Steam as administrator confuses the path detection in some setups.

You do not need a mod manager, a package installer, or any prior modding experience. The ReSkate launcher handles the DLL and server components on its own. If you want mods that adjust graphics or add maps later, the same install covers those; see the mods guide and the custom maps guide once the base install works.

How to download ReSkate from GitHub

The official ReSkate download lives in one place: the Releases section of the GitHub repository Dingo-Shenanigans/ReSkate. Here is the short path from there to a working install:

  1. Open the repository on GitHub and click Releases.
  2. Pick the newest version (v2.0.7 at the time of writing).
  3. Download ReSkateLauncher.exe for a standard Windows install.
  4. If you plan to host a game server, also grab ReSkateServer-2.0.7.zip (Windows) or the .tar.gz build for Linux; the server guide covers setup.
  5. Save the files in their own folder, for example C:\ReSkate, outside your game directory.

Ignore any "ReSkate download" links on third-party portals and sponsored results. The project distributes nothing outside GitHub, and repacked launchers are the single most common way people pick up malware while searching for this tool. If a site asks you to install a downloader first, close the tab.

Installing ReSkate step by step

With the launcher saved, the install takes about five minutes:

  1. Run ReSkateLauncher.exe. Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unsigned executable; choose More info > Run anyway if the file came from the official release.
  2. Point the launcher at your skate. installation. The Steam default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skate. — the launcher can usually auto-detect it.
  3. Let the launcher download ReSkate.dll and any updated components it asks for. It applies these to the game directory it detected.
  4. Launch skate. through the ReSkate launcher rather than the Steam shortcut. This is what loads the runtime.
  5. Once in game, press Insert to open the ReSkate menu. If the menu appears, the install worked.

From here the game plays offline with your mods loaded, and you can join or host private sessions. Details on lobbies are in the multiplayer guide.

Updating and uninstalling ReSkate

The launcher checks for updates on start and offers to apply them. Let it. ReSkate development moves quickly, and each new skate. build from EA usually needs a matching ReSkate release before mods work again; if the menu stops appearing after a game update, check the updates page for the current compatibility status before troubleshooting anything else.

To uninstall, delete the ReSkate folder, then use Steam's Verify integrity of game files on skate. to restore the original game files. A clean uninstall takes under a minute and leaves your saves untouched, since mods live separately from your profile data.

Common install problems

Two issues account for most failed installs. A missing Insert menu usually means the game launched through Steam instead of the ReSkate launcher, or the game build moved past what the release supports. A launcher that opens and immediately closes is typically a blocked DLL write, which antivirus software causes; add an exclusion for the ReSkate folder. The troubleshooting guide walks through both fixes and the rarer crash cases.

FAQ
