Welcome back to The Weekly Grind.
Let’s get to it!
What’s going on?

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.

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.

Fixed Nov 4, 2025.
To Be Fixed in the Coming Weeks:
Xbox X|S players may notice the update is much larger on their console than for PC and PS players
Unable to play Skate. due to a "connection to EA Servers" error
Troubleshooting: Ensure that the VPN is disabled and check that the EA App is not in offline mode. For more troubleshooting help, refer to our Connectivity FAQ.

Next Steps: The team is working to get this address, and while we work on a solution, please report it in this Mega Thread.

The claim button being present after completing all Seasonal Tasks is an error.

Co-Op challenges fail to start for some party members
We’re working on a solution and will keep you updated on our progress.
Stuck on Isle of Grom
We’ve previously pushed out a fix so that new players won’t run into this issue, and have continued to help skaters that are stuck so they can enter San Vansterdam. If you still can’t take the ferry, please report it in our mega thread.
Infinite Loading Issues
We’re tracking an issue with players getting stuck in loading into San Vansterdam.
Workaround: Make sure the game is updated (repair install, if possible). We’ve seen reports from players that loading will complete after a few minutes.
EA App: Click … on game tile, select Repair
Steam: Steam Library, right click game, Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity.
Invisible party members when joining friend from another server
Workaround (not 100%): After the transition, any of the 2 party members would have to teleport to the other party member so they could see one another.
Fix: Team is currently investigating a full fix.
The replay editor often captures stuttering during export on console
Fix: This is fixed in 0.29.
