EA’s skate. is officially rolling out its first seasonal update on October 7, 2025, running through December 2. Season 1, titled Hesh & Fresh, is inspired by 90s skate culture and introduces new areas, challenges, cosmetics, and a refreshed soundtrack.
Seasons in skate. are designed to expand San Vansterdam with themed events, skateable spots, and new progression systems. Each season will also deliver quality-of-life updates, new tasks, and collaborations with real-world skate brands.
Seasonal Events
Two limited-time events will shape the Season 1 calendar:
- Skate-o-Ween (Oct. 21 – Nov. 11): A lighthearted Halloween celebration focused on costumes and fun rather than scares. Players can expect seasonal decor, themed cosmetics, and community events across San Van.
- 7-Ply Maple Harvest (Nov. 18 – Dec. 2): The annual San Van 7-Ply Maple Harvest is a long-standing festival celebrating the city’s unique maple trees; in the 70s, skaters discovered that the trees' wood were perfectly suited for skateboard construction. It’s a community tradition rooted in accomplishments, growth, and reflection.
Season 1 introduces 40 weekly rotating challenges alongside a suite of daily, weekly, and seasonal tasks. Completing them earns players Tix, the in-game currency used to unlock rewards.
skate.Pass and Rewards
Season 1 also brings the first skate.Pass, available in free and premium tiers. Across 82 progression levels, players can unlock up to 74 new cosmetic items and earn 400 SVB (San Van Bucks). Rewards include clothing, skateboard gear, gestures, and costumes such as the Livingston mascot outfit.
Premium players gain access to exclusive items like the Hesh Leather Jacket and Camden Boots, while free-track players can still earn a range of cosmetics such as baggy jorts, striped polos, and sneakers.
New Brands and Soundtrack
EA is also expanding partnerships with iconic skate companies. Season 1 welcomes Santa Cruz, Independent, and Creature, joining existing brands like Vans, Thrasher, and Chocolate.
On the music side, the update adds 21 new tracks with a strong 90s vibe. Highlights include songs from Bad Religion, Dinosaur Jr., Ice Cube and more, with the full playlist dropping soon.
