According to Xbox Wire, Skatesterre is an arcade skateboarding game developed by Headup in collaboration with Goon Squad. The title aims to revive the golden age of skateboarding games, diverging from the modern trajectory of the genre, which has shifted toward realistic sport simulations.
Production involved direct participation from Sterre Meijer, a professional Dutch skateboarder whose expertise and passion for the sport shaped the game's authenticity and gameplay mechanics. The decision to work with an actual athlete reflects the studio's intention to maintain a genuine connection to skate culture.
The game is available on Xbox and PC, marking a return to a more playful and nostalgic approach to the genre, contrasting with modern titles that prioritize realism and sport accuracy.
