Our next update is 0.30.7, starting to roll out across platforms on May 5, 2026 at 10AM PT.

Part of The Weekly Grind will be dedicated to sharing current Known Issues the team is tracking for bugs & issues, any active deployments/fixes, and next steps.
Developer’s Note: We’re seeing a small volume of crashes on PC related to 13th and 14th Gen Intel Processors.
This is a thermal hardware issue with Intel processors, which Intel patched back in 2024, but if you were affected and didn’t download the patch in time, your CPU may be permanently damaged. This issue can cause crashes with high load applications, like video games. You can read more about the issue here and download a diagnostic tool here to see if your PC has this issue.
Known Issues Still Being Investigated:
The game crashes when loading into the Isle of Grom.
Sometimes a player will bail when landing a late flip correctly.
Adjusting your video settings on PC can cause other settings to change.
Sometimes when editing in the Replay Editor, players are unable to exit.
Workaround: Press the L stick in to hide the UI, then again to show it. This should unstick the Replay Editor.
Character texture flickers when the Pipe Dream challenge starts.
Players cannot grind on the rails of the Stadium parking entrance.
Speedline challenges can end prematurely while in a sequence due to final bearing placement
The notification denoting when a friend comes online can randomly trigger multiple times.

The game sometimes crashes when a fourth player joins your Party.
After accepting a skate. party invite via Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, the invite reappears after the player is already in the party they were invited to.
Spin degrees in the trick feed are sometimes inaccurate.
Graphical glitches are present in the UI on PCs using AMD GPUs.
Workaround - AMD:
Go to AMD's driver site and find your graphics card from the "Search or Browse Drivers" section.
Click on "Previous Versions" and download the one labeled "Adrenalin 25.12.1."
Download and Run the AMD Cleanup Utility.
Reboot, and then run the Adrenalin 25.12.1 installer.
Reboot again and launch the game.
Neighborhood Progress appears reset and previously opened product boxes appear locked.
Workaround: Press Windows + R on your keyboard > Type: %localappdata% > Press Enter > Find the skate folder %localappdata%\\skate\\ > Delete or rename the folder. (Rename the folder if you have saved replays or screenshots).
Activity count on Isle of Grom zone entrance menu shows incorrect total amount of completed challenges.
Flags on Isle of Grom have collision making it hard to skate.
Coffin Air 540 in the Waterworks OTL Challenge often fails to register the goal as completed.
Players often don't receive notifications for completing and progressing tasks.
Quick Ollie has incorrect height and forward boost when performed during grind.
Player can hear pedestrian after turning the setting off.
Returning to session marker while 'getting unstuck' can get the player stuck on a black loading screen.
