Skate Story delivers a satisfying skating experience with its tight controls, excellent visuals, and the variety of surfaces to ollie, kickflip, and grind. It plays a bit differently from contemporary skating titles, and if you need a reference to the default setup, here are the complete controls for Skate Story.

Skate Story Controller Support on PC
On PC, Skate Story has native support for Xbox and PlayStation controllers, with the correct button prompts displayed in-game as well.
If you don’t see the correct in-game prompts while using a PlayStation controller, disable Steam Input for Skate Story:
- Make sure Skate Story isn’t running.
- Open Steam and navigate to your library.
- Here, right-click on Skate Story and select Properties.
- In the Controller tab, select the Disable Steam Input option under Override for Skate Story.
Being able to view and remap the control scheme was added to Skate Story on the day of release, and while the interface for it is a bit basic, it gets the job done.
