The Weekly Grind - Jan 20, 2026
Welcome back to The Weekly Grind. Let’s get to it! What’s going on? Update 0.29.6 dropped today, focusing on bug fixes as we prepare for Spring Pop-Off on Feb 10, 2026. If you haven’t yet, check the patch notes for details on what the team worked on for this update. Coming up, the team is working on the next update with more fixes - and once we’ve got a client candidate locked, we’ll share timelines on when it will deploy and what will be included. Spring Pop-Off will start Feb 10, and we’ll have details coming through the week before to get you ready for the last in-game event for Season 2. Our T-Shirt UGC contest has ended, winners have been selected, and we’ll be working with them and the studio to get their designs in-game. We’ll share designs in the coming weeks once they’re finalized. We were so stoked on the community’s participation and awesome submissions, so we’re working on plans for our next community UGC contest. Weekly Calendar The Weekly Grind returns (that’s today) Update 0.29.6 is live Skate. Community ImpervaTEK Video Contest starting Jan 23, 2026 Coming Up Spring Pop-Off Details skate.

Fixed on January 20 in Update 0.29.6: Players are unable to progress through tutorial challenges while subtitles are turned off. The score multiplier takes a lot longer to drain on a loaded game server than an empty one. After exiting Skatepedia, traffic, pedestrians and other players could disappear. Fixed an issue where crackling or distorted audio could happen while using voice over IP. And more… Make sure to check the full 0.29.6 Patch Notes for all fixes from the Jan 20, 2026 update. Known Issues Still Being Investigated: Players are claiming missing Founders and Deluxe items. Players gradually become invisible after a certain period of gameplay. During the Stop, Quick Drop, and Roll Mission, the fliptrick over cars criterion doesn't seem to track until after you complete all of the other criteria. Often during the tutorial, if you wipeout during the Ollie Course, Vee's line about being off board will loop infinitely. Workaround: Restarting skate. has been reported to fix this issue. Exported videos are longer than their displayed in-game length. There is an additional stuttering issue present when using the replay editor in-game, noticeable as skipped frames. 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. Often, the Team Up, Throw Down mission does not end until the player untracks and retracks the mission. The player needs to press the Back button twice for the missions menu to close. The Throwdowns queue timer freezes after all other players leave the queue. When logging out in a community park and logging in again, the tasks won´t count. Rarely, when interacting with a player and joining their party, you will accidentally join another player’s party. The speech-to-text feature does not transcribe the words correctly. Rarely, the Back button has no functionality, and the player cannot exit the Replay Editor.

Me acabo de hacer todo los desafíos del evento de invierno ☃️ y me comprado todo. Resulta que por hacer las 4 semanas me dice quee regalan un jersey pues tengo que comprar lo por 350 de copos de nieve pero yo solo tengo 287 me parece injusto. Me a costado una barbaridad terminar las semanas y que me dicen que me lo va a regalar y tengo que comprarlo si no me llega y acaba mañana me parece muy feo esto. Se me está saltando las lágrimas 😹 😂 por ese jersey y mi gran trabajo de hoy. Totalmente injusto a ver si me arreglan estás cosas lo veo muy mal por EAThe Weekly Grind - Jan 13, 2026
Welcome back to The Weekly Grind. Let’s get to it! What’s going on? Winter Roll-stice ended today - but the Winter Roll-stice store is open until tomorrow, so make sure to spend your Snowflakes before they melt! The ImpervaTEK parks return with their updated style, featuring woodgrain instead of the traditional yellow/blue colors. Visit the parks, share your feedback, and let us know how we can continue to improve them. On Tuesday, Jan 6, 2026, the adidas/Gonz hoodie hit the store at 900 SVB. This was a mistake in pricing and was adjusted on Friday, Jan 10, 2026 to 500 SVB. We're pulling details of everyone who paid 900 SVB and have issued automatic refunds of 400 SVB for those players.

Recent Fixes: Daily Task "Sequence with 2 180 Flip Tricks in Market Mile" cannot be completed. Fix: Implemented on January 6. Rip Chips and Tix granted. Known Issues Still Being Investigated: Players are unable to progress through tutorial challenges while subtitles are turned off. Workaround: Use the Accessibility Settings via the title menu to turn subtitles on. The player loses SVB while purchasing TIX and receives an unwanted item. Completing standard Challenges incorrectly counts as though you completed a Winter Roll-Stice challenge.
