Skate has made its long-awaited return, and with it comes a full set of achievements and trophies that will test your skating skills, your patience, and even your creativity. Whether you’re chasing 100% completion or just curious about what challenges lie ahead, this guide will walk you through every achievement and trophy in the game, along with strategies to make the grind smoother.
Skate features 21 achievements on Xbox and PC, and 22 trophies on PlayStation, where the Platinum is reserved for unlocking everything else. They fall into four broad categories:
- Story & Missions – Progress naturally through campaigns and tutorials.
- Neighborhood Progression – Level up areas by racking up Rip and completing challenges.
- Skill & Score Challenges – Push your tricks, combos, and multipliers.
- Community & Creative Tasks – Replay editor, spectating, and co-op play.
Story and Mission Achievements
These unlock as you work through the main missions and campaigns.
- Put On For My City – Complete the tutorial to make it into San Vansterdam.
- Skaterized – Finish 9 story missions.
- 14 Missions Capped – Finish 14 missions.
- Very Local – Complete 19 missions total.
Tip: These stack naturally. Keep track of your mission count in the main menu so you don’t miss pacing toward the 19-mission milestone.

Neighborhood Progression
Each neighborhood has its own set of levels, requiring you to earn Rip and complete challenges.
- Fully Pulled – Level up your first Neighborhood.
- All Over the Hedge – Reach Level 10 in Hedgemont.
- Gave the Gulls Their Due – Reach Level 10 in Gullcrest Village.
- Empire Skate and Grind – Reach Level 10 in Market Mile.
Tip: Permanent and daily challenges are the most reliable way to level neighborhoods. Save packs for tougher regions where challenge variety is limited.
Rip Score Milestones
Your Rip score is a cumulative tally of your tricks, challenges, and overall progression.
- Full Half Circle – Reach 250 Rip score.
- Model Citizen – Reach 3,300 Rip score.
- Fully Localized – Reach 11,000 Rip score.
Tip: Don’t stress about these early. They’ll unlock as you cycle through neighborhoods and daily challenges. If you’re short, replay missions or focus on permanent challenges for consistent points.
Gameplay and Performance Challenges
These achievements push you to show off technical skill or persistence.
- On a Heater – Maintain a 4x multiplier for a combined total of one hour.
- Spot Hunter – Discover 15 unique blocks in Downtown San Van.
- Simply the Best – Win four Throwdowns.
Tip for On a Heater: The one-hour timer is cumulative, not consecutive. Set a session marker near ramps or rails that allow easy combos and repeat until you rack up the time.

Creative and Community Tasks
Skate rewards you for engaging with its creative and social features.
- Quick Drop It Like It’s Hot – Place 50 Quick Drop objects.
- Without the Footy, It’s Fiction – Create and export 10 videos in Replay Editor.
- Every Trick You Skate – Spectate 50 unique skaters.
- Making the Dream Work – Complete 10 Co-op challenges.
Tip: Quick Drop objects don’t need to stay in the world. Place and delete in a safe area to speed this one up. For spectating, jump between players in the Social & Spectate menu—just a few seconds per skater counts.
Challenge Completions
These ask you to master sets of goals across different challenge tiers.
- You’re Changing Their Hearts – Complete every Goal in 10 Amateur Challenges.
- You’ll Make It, We Swear – Complete every Goal in 20 Semi-Pro Challenges.
- These Skills Paid the Bills – Complete every Goal in 30 Pro Challenges.
Tip: Amateur challenges are forgiving, but Semi-Pro and Pro demand more precise execution. Prioritize easier goals first to keep momentum, and chip away at the hardest ones later.
The Platinum Trophy
- This Must Be The Place (PlayStation only) – Unlock all other trophies to earn Platinum.
Earning every achievement in Skate isn’t just about grinding rails and scoring high—it’s about exploring every corner of San Vansterdam, pushing your creativity with Quick Drop objects, and connecting with the community through co-op and spectating. Some trophies will come naturally, others will test your patience, but together they showcase everything that makes Skate a dynamic sandbox.
If you’re aiming for completion, pace yourself: balance mission progress with daily challenges, rotate between neighborhoods, and use downtime for creative tasks like Replay Editor videos. Before long, you’ll be staring at a 100% completion screen that proves your mastery of Skate. Play Now!
