"EA's Skate Introduces Microtransactions Pre-Launch"
EA has introduced microtransactions to its upcoming free-to-play revival of Skate during the latest alpha test, ahead of an official release date announcement. According to Insider Gaming, Full Circle, the game's developer, has implemented a virtual currency called San Van Bucks, which players can purchase with real money to acquire cosmetic items. The aim is to refine Skate's microtransaction system to ensure players have a "positive experience when purchasing items from the Skate store." Full Circle has expressed gratitude for player feedback, which they believe will enhance the experience at the game's early access launch.
It's important to note that Full Circle has informed testers that all progress will be reset before Skate enters early access. Any purchases made during the alpha test will be converted back into San Van Bucks, which will be available again when early access begins.
Skate's early access is scheduled for 2025. The game was first announced at EA Play in 2020, described as being in the "very early" stages of development. Since then, Full Circle has engaged the community with closed playtests and updates through their "The Board Room" video series. In 2022, the developer officially named the game 'skate.' and confirmed it would be a free-to-play title available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
