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.

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.584Views3likes0CommentsImpossible de faire la mission

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.

Se me está saltando las lágrimas 😹 😂 por ese jersey y mi gran trabajo de hoy.

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.
