EA's Skate Gets Microtransactions Before Its Release Date

Author : Amelia Mar 16,2025

EA's highly anticipated Skate revival is incorporating microtransactions into its latest alpha test, as reported by Insider Gaming. Developer Full Circle has introduced a virtual currency, San Van Bucks, used to purchase cosmetic items. This move appears to be a test of the in-game purchase system, with Full Circle aiming for a positive player experience during the upcoming early access launch. The developer assures players that any purchases made during the alpha will be refunded as San Van Bucks and reinstated at the start of early access, and that progress will be completely reset before launch.
