How to Change Camera Angle in Skate 4 (Best Camera Settings)

Skate is back, and this time we’re rolling through a fresh city called San Vansterdam. You can just chill and pull off tricks or hit up neighborhoods to wrap up challenges and missions, especially to grab the Rip Chips to later exchange for the tempting product boxes and exciting rewards, but if your camera angle feels off, your runs might not hit right, messing up the game’s experience.

Good camera settings don’t just make things look nice; they actually help you land tricks cleaner and see the city the way it’s meant to be. In this guide, we’ll explain how to change your camera angle and the best settings to keep your skating smooth in Skate 4.

How to Change Camera Angle in Skate 4

Camera angle broadens or narrows your game’s canvas for you. In simple words, it decides how much of San Van skaters get to see while spinning around. In Skate, unlike many other games, players can update not only the off-board view but also how their character experiences the in-game world while riding on the skateboard.

To change the field of view in Skate 4, all you have to do is open Gameplay Settings. If you’re already in the game, just press the ESC button to jump into the Hub, then press 1 or click on the cog icon to access settings and set the camera angles under the Gameplay section. You can set the FOV anywhere from +50 to +120, and it goes up in steps of 5 each time.

If you’re on the start screen, the Accessibility option (opened by pressing 1 on your keyboard) also lets you set angles for both your on-board and off-board cameras.

Best Camera Settings in Skate 4

Since Skate is a skateboarding video game, luckily, it offers more camera settings than just adjusting the field of view (FOV), meaning you can now experiment with things like your character’s horizontal and vertical movements, how far they can be from the center of the screen, and more. Here are the best settings to try out in Skate 4 for one of the most fun moments.
