Experience improved Flick-It controls, the rich physics based skateboarding gameplay that provides those “only in skate.“ moments and off-board exploration for full freedom in the large-scale multiplayer world of San Vansterdam.

Set in the vibrant city of San Vansterdam, skate. is a multiplayer skateboarding destination offering a massive open world where players discover unique skate spots, land insane tricks and connect - or compete - with friends online. With four unique neighborhoods - Hedgemont, Gullcrest, Market Mile and Brickswich - each offering its own distinct vibe and challenges, the city is a huge playground for skaters. From parks and plazas to rooftops and massive ramps, every corner is packed with skateable spots, including the House of Rolling Reverence, a former church transformed into a trick haven for skaters.

At the core of skate. is the restored and improved Flick-It System, brought back to life through the Frostbite Engine to deliver the best skateboarding experience we have ever offered. With unparalleled precision and control, Flick-It brings the magic of the franchise back to life for a new generation of players. skate. also introduces a variety of new tricks - such as wallies, slappies and firecrackers - offering fresh ways to ride. Skatepedia serves as the ultimate resource for mastering tricks and styles, while ensuring accessibility for new players.

Developer Full Circle revealed all the new skate. content dropping with Season 3 on March 10, 2026.

This season dials the clock back to skateboarding’s golden era, bringing a funky-fresh new look to San Vansterdam along with new ways to play, the return to the Isle of Grom, the debut of tattoos and more ways than ever to earn rewards as you skate with your crew.

Some highlights include:

• Isle of Grom: The Isle of Grom returns and is bigger than ever! Inspired by Skate 2 and Skate 3, this expansion brings that classic spillway energy to life with tons of new terrain to explore, grind and shred, along with new tasks and challenges. 
• Updated skate.Pass: Season 3 introduces a refreshed skate.Pass with 100+ tiers across the Standard and Premium tracks featuring decks, stickers, trucks, griptape, tattoos and more, and adding Thrasher, Vans and adidas to the skate.Pass, while also debuting skate.Premium Pass+ (which gives players a 4,000 Tix head start to fast-track unlocks).
• Speedlines Game Mode: Blaze through Technical and Time Trial challenges that test players’ speed skills in both San Van and the Isle of Grom. 
• Loadouts: Swapping your look and setup gets easier with skater loadouts. All players start with three character loadouts to save full customization, style, deck and more with additional slots available to purchase in-game.
• Tattoos: Ink has finally hit San Van with tattoos for arms and legs that can be resized, repositioned and rotated to one’s desire. Tattoos can be earned or purchased via the skate.Pass, the rotating in-game shop and the new Tattoo Shop section.
• New & Improved Tricks: Dark Tricks arrive on day one, including Dark Catches, Dark Flips and Darkslides, while Boneless tricks receive improved responsiveness and behavior on both ground and transition. 

And much more!

With Season 3: Fluid Flashback, we’re “going back” to skateboarding’s first major era, when the sport began to evolve rapidly. Back when polyurethane wheels replaced clay and metal ones, skating became more accessible and appealing. 

So what’s in Season 3?

Parts of the city have gotten a 70s-inspired makeover, featuring new locations to explore (including a skateable shortcut through the Tri Tower Parking Garage and the newly opened Isle of Grom Water Taxi in Hedgemont). We’ve also added enhanced features in the Replay Editor, new tricks, and a large variety of customization—170 skater clothing options, 140 skateboard options (including decks, wheels, trucks, stickers), 13 new gestures, and over 52 tattoos.

Fluid Flashback puts the 70s back in focus with vibrant colors and bold designs. The update replaces neon accents with period-inspired hues, expanding these looks across Rolling Waves, The Block Party, House of Rolling Reverence, Eelside Tunnels, The Skateway, and other new skateable areas.

We’re also opening up a shortcut through Tri Towers Parking Garage, as a new place to hit a fresh sesh in San Van.

The Return of Isle of Grom

Like we mentioned in the last Dev Update, we’re headed back to the Isle of Grom. But trust—it’s not the old tutorial spot you remember. The Full Circle crew’s been putting in work, flipping the place with all-new lines and even bigger skate vibes. Hit the Water Taxi in Hedgemont and head over for new Challenges and an updated Isle of Grom. 

Quick reminder: Season 3 skate.Premium Pass members will be able to hit Isle of Grom early, starting March 10, 2026 until April 14, 2026, and then we’ll hold a grand opening for everyone with a multi-week event on April 14, 2026. After the event ends on May 5, access to Grom will be available through the skate.Premium Pass or via a Water Taxi Day Pass (valid for 24 hours from purchase) using 500 Rip Chips (earnable through completing Challenges and Tasks) per Day Pass. Exact dates are subject to change.

We’re really stoked to bring you even more on the island! Get ready for fresh new spots to skate and explore, bigger hills to bomb, and massive gaps to send. We’ve taken inspiration from Skate 2 and 3 to deliver epic spillway action that’s going to blow your mind. Plus, we’ve packed in a ton of Tasks and Challenges to keep you on your toes while you’re out there shredding. And here’s the best part—we’ve got an awesome surprise dropping in April with a special in-game event that everyone can get hyped about and jam together. Get ready to dive in!

New Features and Improvements

New Mode: Speedlines

Similar to Line Challenges, but focuses on moving as fast as possible. There are two types of Speedlines: Technical and Time Trial. Let the best line-for-time videos begin. Speedlines will be available in San Van and on Isle of Grom. 

Technical Speedlines*

You already got a sample of these in Season 1 and 2 as we experimented with them. And now we’ve got them as an actual mode.    

• These speedlines mimic our current line challenges, but they add a time criterion that must also be met.
• These speedlines aim to combine technical skill with speed, and the challenge for the player is often to complete all other criteria while maintaining their momentum.

Time Trial Speedlines*

• These speedlines will feature multiple time criteria that increase in difficulty.
• These speedlines try to encourage the player to find the quickest route possible while picking up all the tokens.

*Note: Technical and Time Trial are the types of Speedlines, but will not be labelled as such in-game. They will be differentiated by the tasks in the challenges. If you see tricks, it’s Technical. If you see the SVCC times to beat, that’s a Time trial. GO FAST!

New Feature: Loadouts

Changing your skater’s customization is a lot easier in Season 3, as we’re introducing skater loadouts. 

You’ll start out with 3 character loadouts to configure, where you can save your skater customization, style, deck setup, gestures, etc. More will be available to purchase via 250 SVB in-game, with a max of 10 slots.

New Customization: Tattoos

Time to get inked! We’re bringing tattoos to your skater in Season 3, and opening up the Tattoo Parlor in the Extravert Shop. You’ll be able to grab some tattoos through the skate.Pass (Standard and Premium tracks), the in-game rotating shop, and the Tattoo Shop section of the Essentials section of the Extravert store. 

For the first iteration of tattoos, you can place them on your arms and legs, and you can resize, reposition, and rotate. As this feature continues to expand, we’ll have more details.

But first, a quick Q&A from one of the team members who worked on tattoos for skate.:

We’re super excited tattoos are coming to skate. in Season 3. What can you tell us about the designs?

• Well we worked really hard to ensure the design approach matched what you would expect in the real world. We broke down the stenciling process to better understand how to layer color or grayscale, and kept the themes close to what you’d see on flash sheets. We even partnered with a couple amazing Austin-based tattoo artists.

Were there any challenges to having realistic tattoos added in game and have them able to be applied to a variety of body shapes, sizes, and skin types?

• I think the most R&D went into tattoo design was ensuring we did our due diligence for inclusivity. We wanted to make sure we were capturing negative space as skin, which required a fair amount of work from both the teams designing the tattoos and the team implementing them in the engine, to ensure the designs show up on a variety of skin tones in the game. We aimed to offer more than one style of tattoo, from Stick and Poke to American Traditional to Realism to provide a variety of options to accommodate different skin tones and personal preferences.

What’s your favorite in-game tattoo design that’s showing up in Season 3?

• I have three! The Reaper Side and the Four-Eyed Lady are my favorites. They really demonstrate the boldness of American Traditional tattoos, which is my personal preference when I get tattooed.  Also, with Fuzzy Scorpion, we really tried to capture the look of a DIY tattoo, good or bad.

How many designs are going to be available in Season 3?

• We have 52 unique tattoo designs throughout Season 3.

Do I have to pay for all of the tattoos? What SVB range will they fall into? Will there be tattoo packs available?

• There are many ways to get tattoos in-game. Default tattoos are available in the character menu, as are earnable or purchasable tattoos through the skate.pass, unlocked as mission rewards, and earnable in our first season event. Currently, there’s no tattoo packs to acquire, but we will keep expanding how we bring tattoos to San Van.

Will more placements be available soon?

• Over time, we would like to expand the number of available tattoo placement slots and offer more options for moving tattoos around.

Can you share anything about what’s coming down the pipe with Tattoos?

• We want to continue bringing on new tattoo artists as we progress. There is a level of authenticity that is invaluable through these partnerships, and it’s been a fun experience to see what each artist comes up with based on a phrase or idea. We’re very excited for everyone to see the UI update in-game. 

New & Improved Tricks

You asked for them - and have been asking for them - so they’re back: Dark Tricks are coming day one in Season 3.

They took a little while, but they are finally here and better than ever. Here’s what you can do starting in Season 3 with Dark Tricks. And you can add some extra steeze by performing Late Dark Tricks - just make sure you land it, or you’ll go sprawling.

Updated Boneless Tricks

• Bonelesses have been pretty inconsistent up til now, but we have really improved the responsiveness, reliability, and behavior of boneless tricks when performed from the ground or in transition. 
• Developer’s Note: We needed to make some large changes to how Bonelesses were originally implemented in order to improve their consistency and quality. A side effect of these underlying changes was the removal of some Boneless-specific “pop glitches.”

We’re gonna update Skatepedia, so if you need to brush up on your moves or catch some fresh trick tips, it’s all there. Don’t sweat it—just cruise through, catch the vibe, and you’ll be pulling off those tricks like a total pro. 

Replay Editor Additions and Improvements

We’re bringing more features and tools to the Replay Editor in Season 3. 

With this update to the Replay Editor, we’re hooking you up with new Effects to make your footy look even cleaner. Time to get creative and show off those clips in true style!

Effects Tab will allow you to adjust:

• Exposure - adjust the brightness
• Color Temperature - cool tones or warm tones to add variety to your clips
• Color Saturation - increase or decrease the color vibrancy
• Barrel Distortion - which can help achieve a  fisheye lens effect; make sure you’re keeping your lens wide (larger FOV) to really lock it in
• Vignette - subtle darkening of the edges to draw the viewer’s focus to the center
  • Opacity
  • Size
  • Sharpness
• More granular volume control
  • Your skater's audio, other skaters' audio, and world ambience
• Playback speed can now be keyframed, so you can slo-mo one keyframe section, then speed up the next keyframe section

Dive in. We can’t wait to see the content you create with the new replay editor features, so share it with us on social and community channels, or drop your videos on skate.REEL for a chance to be featured on our carousel.

New Settings and UI Improvements

Opt-In Party Collision

• You’ve asked for collision, and we’re bringing it to parties. When in a party, you’ll be able to toggle collision on/off and let the chaos ensue with your friends. As development continues, we’ll look for other places to bring this fun. 
• The setting is disabled by default in the menus, and collision only occurs if everyone in the party has it enabled.
• It’s experimental, and there will be bugs - or even some weirdness in the goofy fun of collisions in parties. 

Throwdowns

• Notifications for nearby throwdowns with the ability to opt-in or out. 
• Control over what Throwdown notifications you see so you don’t clutter your UI. 

Sense of Speed Audio Improvements

• Audio distortion at high speed to drive immersion.
• Improved wind, cloth, tunnel transitions, and surface texture.

End of Challenge Celebration

• During the celebration screen for Co-Op Challenges, your skater can now gesture and celebrate!
• Default gesture played = the gesture equipped in your first slot. 
• Player override - You can override the gesture played at any time.

Player Activity Visualization

• Indicators beside the player name when those players are in an activity, in the menu, or away. You’ll know what folks are doing when you roll up to them.

Challenges and Tasks

Monthly seasonal events aren’t the only thing to do during Season 3. We’ll have 50+ new Seasonal and Event Challenges, plus returning Challenges and Tasks from previous seasons – spread out through Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Event tasks. We’ve also got 3 new OTLs (2 in Isle of Grom and one in Brickswich).

skate.Pass for Season 3

Quick reminder on the skate.Pass: The skate.Pass has two tracks - the Standard (free) and Premium track - where you earn currency called “Tix” each season to exchange for items from the skate.Pass, which you can get via: 

• Daily, Weekly, Monthly Tasks, and Special Event Tasks (including completion bonuses)
• Seasonal Challenges
• Own The Lot Tasks and Challenges
• Daily grants (Premium skate.Pass only)
• Exchange for San Van Bucks

Don’t forget, having the Premium skate.Pass for Season 3 will give you unlimited access to Isle of Grom for the entire season. With Season 3, we're also introducing Thrasher, Vans, and adidas brands into skate.Pass.  Each will have an item in the free track and multiple items in the Paid track. 

skate.Premium Pass can only be obtained from the in-game store during the seasons in which they are released. You’ll always be able to complete the Standard (Free) track without having to purchase the skate.Pass, but you’ll need to upgrade to the Premium track for 1000 SVB to get access to the Premium items, and you’ll be able to continue progressing and unlock rewards for up to one additional Season. Once the following Season ends, you can’t complete progression against the legacy skate.Pass.

We’ve also added a new bundle to the skate.Pass: skate.Premium Pass+. For 2000 SVB, you can get the skate.Premium Pass and start off with 4000 Tix to begin unlocking skate.Pass items.

Skate.Pass content requires gameplay & all game updates to unlock. Premium and Premium+ content also requires skate.Pass Premium or Premium+ (sold separately).

There will also be some SVB discounts on select packs running the first week of Season 3 via the in-game store, platform stores, and webstore.† Check it out!

So what are the rewards in Season 3?

Alright, let’s chat about the Season 3 skate.Pass. Here’s the deal: you’ve got 108 tiers to shred through—31 on the Standard side and 77 if you go Premium. Stack up 26 free cosmetic goodies and 5 SVB tiers on the Standard track, or boost it to 73 cosmetic swag and 4 more SVB tiers with Premium. That’s 99 killer cosmetic items and 9 full tiers of SVB if you go all in: up to 500 SVB once you hit the finish line. We’re talking new board gear - decks, stickers, trucks, griptape, wheels - the works. Plus all kinds of threads for your skater: clothes, shoes, wild costumes, hats, tattoos, even fresh gestures. Don’t forget profile upgrades, like banners and avatars. Get ready to earn it and show it off at every session!

What are some of the cosmetics?

We’ve got some new cosmetics in the skate.Pass - for both the Standard (Free) and Premium tracks. And don’t forget, we’ve got brands in both tracks for Season 3.

The skate.Premium Pass track also has a Premium reward, and this season we’re bringing the Crash Out Costume. And like any crash test dummy, when you crash out, parts go flying.

Every season, we’re bringing new brand partners, and we’re stoked to bring huf at the start of Season 3. During the season, we’ll be bringing Jenkem (and more coming later in the season), as well as some refreshes from Thrasher, Vans, Santa Cruz, Creature, Slime Balls, OJ, Chocolate, Girl, Dime, adidas, and Sci-Fi Fantasy.

Music

As always, we know music is part of the soul of skateboarding, and we’ll be updating the soundtrack by bringing 25 new songs to help drive that 70s vibe into the rotation to get your groove on via Grabster in-game.

1. Judas Priest - Running Wild
2. The Germs - Lexicon Devil
3. Freddie Gibbs, The Alchemist, Anderson .Paak - Ensalada
4. Con Funk Shun - FFUN
5. Eric Burdon & War  - Magic Mountain

We’ll be dropping the complete list of new music coming to San Van next week, so stay tuned.

And, of course, we’ve got Seasonal events and a special in-game Creator Challenges! 

Events

Skate Paddy’s Day

Skate Paddy’s is a time-honored tradition with the skate. team, dating back to 2007. We’re expanding the invite to our team party to everyone in San Van. Updated community parks, Tasks/Challenges, and some Skate Paddy’s gear to grab are on the menu. Details to come as we get closer to the event. 

Isle of Grom Event: Open Access

To celebrate the grand opening of Isle of Grom, a few weeks after Season 3 launches, we’ve got a special event open to everyone. We’ll have more details before the event goes live, so stay tuned.

Creator Challenges

To add to the in-game tasks and challenges, the Full Circle team sat down with a well-known creator to create some challenges (and creator-themed rewards for completing them). These challenges will be available in-game on the Isle of Grom later in the season, and we’ll have more details before the event to talk about them and what you can get for completing them. True to this creator’s style, these will be difficult and will test your skate. mastery.

Welcome to Fluid Flashback in San Van, and welcome to Season 3.

Keep rollin’,
