EA's Skate Game: Microtransactions Revealed

by Sarah Mar 13,2025

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 run of the in-game store, with Full Circle aiming for a positive player experience during purchases. They've emphasized the importance of player feedback to refine the system before the early access launch.

Importantly, Full Circle has warned alpha testers that all progress will be reset before early access begins. Any purchases made during the alpha will be refunded as San Van Bucks, redeemable upon the early access launch.
