Skate devs address softlocks and cosmetic issues after rocky Early Access launch, offer in‑game goodies: “Things have not gone as smoothly for some of you as we would have liked”

The free rewards are announced up front. Every player who logs in now can claim 2,000 Tix and 500 SVBs. Note that the offer runs only until Season 2 begins in December, and the items must be spent before that season starts.

Progression problems are also being tackled: many players are reaching an early plateau and encountering softlocks at specific levels. The team plans “batch fixes” to release grouped remedies that will free affected players, followed by deeper changes to prevent recurrence.

Looking ahead to Season 2, the in-game marketplace will be rebalanced to provide better value and a wider selection. Premium gear will be adjusted to feel more distinctive and worthwhile, and the skate.Pass experience will expand to 90 tiers. Additional economic tuning is scheduled, with players seeing some of these adjustments during the 7-Ply Maple Harvest event this November.

“We’re truly grateful for your patience as we improve, grow, and evolve Skate during Early Access,” the blog concludes. “We wouldn’t be here without you.”
