Welcome back to The Weekly Grind.
Let’s get to it!
What’s going on?
With Skate-o-Ween officially over in San Van, we’re one week away from the 7-Ply Maple Harvest Event on November 18, 2025 and our mini-blog will be dropping before the event starts.
REMINDER: Free Gift and Dev Blog
November 10, 2025 we shared the Dev Update blog to discuss the state of skate., ongoing work on bugs and issues, changes we’re bringing to Season 2 and to drop a free gift for everyone. Make sure you login before December 2 to claim the 2000 Tix and 500 SVB we’ve granted to everyone.
For details on the blog, check here.
Second World/Visuals Pass Coming in Season 2
We also wanted to share some quick looks at our second visual pass for skate. coming in Season 2, which will continue to evolve and we’ll share updates when they’re ready.
Softlocks/Stuck Progression- ONGOING
On Wednesday, the team is working to deploy a back end fix to help prevent new softlocks as they manually work to unstick players.
The work continues, and as we continue to make progress, we’ll keep you update on our official skate_status account on X.
More content from the skate. community!
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.

- Stuck on Isle of Grom

- Steam: Steam Library, right click game, Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity.
