The Weekly Grind - Nov 4, 2025

 

Welcome back to The Weekly Grind. 

Let’s get to it!

What’s going on?

It’s the final week of Skate-o-Ween and we’re 2 weeks away from the 7-Ply Maple Harvest Event. (We’ve got a mini-blog coming up before the event to give you the deets on what’s happening in San Van for the event, so hang loose.) We’ve also got “the best free gift in the Citadel” coming this Friday. 

With Daylight Saving Time ending for San Vansterdam on Nov 3, you may have noticed the daily resets happening an hour earlier. Our systems like Daily Resets go off the UTC timezone (it’s called universal for a reason), so the time really didn’t change on the back-end, but for our players who just experienced “Fall Back”, those resets are an hour earlier (9AM PT/ 1700 UTC). 

Nov 4, 2025 we pushed out a hotfix to address crashing issues on console where the resume feature would cause the game to crash.

What we’ve heard

Season 1 and our first Seasonal event received a lot of feedback that the team has taken on, from accrual rates of seasonal and event currency to items that can be obtained by spending that currency. The team is working to improve the tuning of the seasonal and event currency, as well as improve the offerings in the seasonal and event rewards. Additionally, we’ve heard feedback regarding the community parks updates for events.

We’ve heard your feedback on Season 1 and the first seasonal event, and some changes we’re bringing to Season 2 are:

• As noted in our Season 1 blog, the first Season in skate. was always planned to be a little shorter, but all future Seasons will have around 100 tiers in the skate.Pass.
• Through Skate-o-Ween, we learned that the Event economy is not properly balanced and leads to a surplus of event currency that you can't spend. We’re making changes for the 7-Ply event later this month as a result and we’ll continue to evaluate to see if we need to make further adjustments to future events.

We’ve got more info coming through a Dev Blog from the team at Full Circle. 

REMINDER: Free Gift

On Oct 31,  2025,  we dropped the Lightrunner set for everyone. All you have to do is log in to get the set (before Dec 2, 2025).

 

Softlocks/Stuck Progression- ONGOING
The work continues. The team is making progress on the various softlock issues, and we know we’re not done yet. 

We appreciate your dedication and sticking with us in Early Access as we work through these issues. Make sure to check our official skate_status account on X to keep up-to-date with news and info as it comes out. 

Keep that content coming! 

The skate-tshirt-contest has ended, and we’re going through the submissions and will be reaching out to potential finalists, then will work with the dev team to get the winners and start getting those designs in-game.

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.
