Is CubeSkills Still Updated With New Content?

Updated

No — CubeSkills is not currently publishing new tutorials or videos. The site's own blog states that the author is unable to release new content at this time due to work and life schedule constraints, while leaving open the possibility of future updates. The existing tutorials and tools remain available for learning.

What the site itself says

The most recent blog update on CubeSkills is explicit about the situation. The author writes that given current work and life commitments, new videos and content are not being released, and adds that this could change in the future — expressing a wish to one day make updated and new tutorials for the site.

That post is dated as being from 5 years ago, which means the pause in publishing is not a recent development. Anyone checking the site for fresh material should treat it as a largely static archive rather than an actively growing channel.

The "Upcoming Releases" section

The site does include an Upcoming Releases section described as showing upcoming content on the website. In practice, this section does not indicate an active release schedule — it sits alongside a blog that states no new content is currently being produced. Treat it as a placeholder rather than a reliable roadmap.

What this means for learners

The lack of new uploads does not make the existing material unusable. CubeSkills describes itself as the home of speedcubing tutorials developed by Feliks Zemdegs, a two-time Rubik's Cube world champion, and the library covers a wide range of skill levels. The catalog visible on the site includes:

  • 3x3 tutorials, including 3x3 videos, 3x3 algorithms, and 3x3 one-handed videos
  • Big cube tutorials: 4x4, 5x5, and big cube videos
  • Other puzzles: Megaminx and other algorithm content
  • Competing and livestreams sections
  • Tools: Solve Critiques, PLL Recognition Trainer, and a Glossary
  • Blogs, including Feliks' Blog

Because cubing methods at the 3x3 and big-cube level change slowly, older tutorials from a world-class solver generally remain relevant for learning technique. The main caveat is that any content tied to specific hardware, competition rules, or trending methods may reflect the state of the sport at the time it was recorded.

How to decide whether to use it

Your situation Reasonable approach
Beginner learning to solve for the first time Existing beginner tutorials are still usable; the fundamentals do not expire
Intermediate solver looking for method refinements The algorithm and technique libraries remain a valid reference
Looking for current competition meta or the newest methods Expect gaps — the site is not publishing updates, so cross-check with active sources
Wanting a structured, ongoing course with new lessons The site will not meet that expectation in its current state

If staying current matters to you, use CubeSkills for its core instructional content and treat any topic that depends on recent developments as something to verify elsewhere. If you mainly need solid explanations of established solving methods, the archive is still worth working through.
