- 0.32.0 Patch Notes - 7 September 2026
Welcome to the 0.32.0 patch notes.Developer’s Note: With the launch of Season 5, the Legacy skate.Pass is being retired, meaning all Season 5 Standard and Premium track rewards must be earned within the active season. This change is part of how we’re evolving progression in skate., and we want to set clear expectations that Season 5 rewards need to be earned during the active season. To ensure a smooth, rewarding progression experience, we have tuned earn rates and introduced new ways to collect Tix, including Spotlight Challenges and Endless Bounties. While unlocking every single seasonal item requires 76,346 Tix, dedicated players can earn a maximum of 123,543 Tix before the season ends. We’re excited for the future of skate. and will be sharing more details in the coming months about where we’re going. Before you dig into the bug fixes and feature updates below, take a look at our Se…
