Welcome back to The Weekly Grind.

Let’s get to it!

What’s going on?

Spring Pop-Off has ended, and we’ve got a week before Season 3 starts. We shared a clip of darkslides on Monday, with more details on Season 3 coming this week (Season 3 blog drops Thursday, March 5, 2026) like updated Replay Editor features, a new skateable area, the return to Isle of Grom, a new mode, and more.

We’ve compiled our Show Your Fit screenshot Winners, and we’ll share them below (and they’ll be showing up on skate.reel soon). 

Weekly Calendar

• Darkslides Preview on Monday
• The Weekly Grind returns (that’s today)
• World Improvments Preview (also today)
• Season 3 Blog

Coming Up

• Update 0.30.0 Patch Notes
• Season 3 drops March 10, 2026

Check the Dark slides clip again if you missed it.

We mentioned that darkslides and dark catches have been improved since previous games, heres an example of what we fixed in skate. vs skate 3. The board rotation didn't always match the trick into dark slide or catch in skate 3, so now you'll actually get the full trick before catching dark.

And the World Improvements we shared earlier today.

As usual, we wanted to share a few pieces of content that caught our eye. Remember: if you want to possibly be featured in The Weekly Grind, make sure to share yours (screenshots, videos, clips) via skate.reel. 

While we love highlighting content from the community (via Discord, Reddit, etc.), we’ll use this space to share the Show Your Fit screenshot contest winners’ pics. 

Show Your Fit Screenshot WINNERS

(currently getting shipping info and will be sending the decks out this week; clips should be up on skate.REEL soon)

Part of The Weekly Grind will be dedicated to sharing current Known Issues the team is tracking for bugs & issues, any active deployments/fixes, and next steps.

To Be Fixed in the Coming Weeks:

• There is an additional stuttering issue present when using the replay editor in-game, noticeable as skipped frames.
•  Progression and rewards for some completed Tasks fail to apply to the player's account.
  • Workaround: Restarting skate fixes this issue, but your Task progress may be lost.
• The player needs to press the Back button two times for the missions menu to close.
• The Score with Sequences and Modified Grabs daily and weekly task does not appear for some players and cannot be progressed.
• Transferring from one Challenge to a Co-op Challenge via invite sometimes results in server disconnection.
• The Throwdowns queue timer freezes after all other players leave the queue.
• Lip color and Board Stickers are invisible when running a NVIDIA card on driver 591.44 or newer.
• Skaters are unintentionally pulled into random co-op challenges.
• The player gets into a menu state while any narrative VO line triggers with subtitles off.
• Tweaking skate's. graphical settings can cause the fullscreen resolution to switch to 640x480.
  • Workaround: Rename the %localappdata%\skate\data folder or delete the folders that have numbers in that folder tree.
• Rarely, when interacting with a player and joining their party, you will accidentally join another player’s party.
• The Friends fails to load completely on accounts with large amounts of friends.
• All footplant tricks are incorrectly named when in Regular stance.

Known Issues Still Being Investigated:

• The notification denoting when a friend comes online can randomly trigger multiple times.
• Visual effects details for the Blaze Costume are missing from the Extravert shop and character menus. 
  • Developer's Note: To activate the Blaze Costume's visual effects, you must hit the 4x multiplier in a line.
• Graphical glitches are present in the UI on PCs using AMD GPUs.
  • Workaround - AMD: 
    • Go to AMD's driver site and find your graphics card from the "Search or Browse Drivers" section.
    • Click on "Previous Versions" and download the one labeled "Adrenalin 25.12.1."
    • Download and Run the AMD Cleanup Utility.
    • Reboot, and then run the Adrenalin 25.12.1 installer.
    • Reboot again and launch the game.
• Event challenge criteria sometimes fail to update after completion.
• Sometimes, putting the game on fullscreen and leaving it minimized for three or four minutes will prevent the player from re-opening it until the game is restarted.
• Community Park tasks sometimes won’t count if you log out while within a Community Park and log back in. 
  • Workaround: Use any Fast Travel point and then return to the Community Park.
• The speech-to-text feature does not transcribe the words correctly.
