Accepted to playtest, but never received a code...

 So I signed up for the EA playtest of the new Skate game sometime last year, and I finally got in for the March 11th playtest. I fully registered last week and was waiting on an email for download instructions. The playtest was scheduled on my EA. By March 12th I hadn't heard anything, and my playtest disappeared from the schedule. I still haven't heard anything via email, I don't see it on my EA app either. I've contacted EA help, but they referred me to the forums in hopes that a community helper sees this.

For context, I've been playing the Skate franchise since the day of release of Skate 3 when I was just 5 years old. In turn, my life has been skateboarding ever since, filming videos, and getting clips. I recently got injured, and coincidentally, it was the same day the email for the March 11th playtest was sent out. I was so excited and eagerly waiting, only to be disappointed by EA yet again. I saw many other registered playtesters were having this problem as well, and it's honestly sad that all these people finally got accepted to a playtest after waiting for months even years, all for nothing. I love the Skate franchise I've been so excited to see what it has to offer, but this is discouraging and upsetting to say the least. Do better EA.

    I wish they would at least be like "Hey, we lied to you. You're not getting the playtest," instead of just leaving us all hanging. For 5 days, I've just been waiting on any email, but still nothing.

  • I'm not sure if this helps, but for me; the registration page appeared as if my playtest was no longer scheduled, but it was because it's currently ongoing. If you are on a PC, check your EA launcher again. Mine was displayed there even though the registration website was acting as if my playtest session was over. The playtest should be in your library for download. If you're on a console then I unfortunately can't help there. 

    If none of this helps, then pester EA on social media lol, I want to say there was a limit to the number of players allowed into the playtest, but I can't be sure of it.

    I'm on pc and still nothing in my library. I feel like they would limit the emails they sent out for registration rather than the amount of codes/playtests, that just doesn't seem logical.

  • Im having the same exact issue, got the invite email, but signed up literally 3 hours after the playtest started, dont see the playtest download email, nor is it in my EA library :(

  • same with me, wish they could have at least put us off for the next wave, rather than it being a chance of us getting in for the future

  • I’m in the.same boat got an email over a week ago saying in a week I’ll get an email with download instructions and still not heard anything or anything in my ea library

    Hello Friends Like All Of you i had Signed Up And Also Technically Didn't receive all of the codes i was promised Two of my friends still don't have theirs but one of them did?! So Its really weird Idk who to even contact as per usual EA help is just a mess. And To anyone who didn't even receive one While it didn't happen to me my heart goes out to y'all as I had feared something like that was gonna happen and I thought it was gonna be me. Im hoping for Swift Updates And Or Some Action maybe Not from EA but the Skate Team to help us out idk Skaters what do we do? 

  • Yoo that literally happened to me too they never got in touch after I signed up for the newer playtest and now I’m left with skate 3 which is still a goat game but I’m still disappointed
