[QUOTE="Admin, post: 66557, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2025/03/12/skate-1741771995965.jpg[/IMG] EA has added microtransactions to [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/skate']Skate[/URL] during its latest alpha test, and ahead of a release date announcement. As reported by [URL='https://insider-gaming.com/ea-adds-microtransactions-to-skates-closed-alpha/']Insider Gaming[/URL], developer Full Circle added microtransactions to the ongoing closed alpha test of EA's free-to-play Skate revival. You can spend real-world money on a virtual currency called San Van Bucks, which in turn is used to buy cosmetic items. It sounds like Full Circle wants to test Skate’s microtransaction purchase system, as it states it wants players to have a “positive experience when purchasing items from the Skate store.” “Your feedback will be greatly appreciated in providing a great experience at Early Access launch,” the message continues. According to Insider Gaming, Full Circle has warned testers that progress will be fully reset before Skate launches into early access, and any purchases you make will be converted back into San Van Bucks and made available again at the start of early access. Skate’s early access launch is set for 2025. It was announced during EA Play [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-announces-a-new-skate'][U]way back in 2020,[/U][/URL] but at the time was stated as "very early" in development.

The developer officially revealed the name of the game would be ‘skate.’ back in 2022, alongside [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/skate-4-is-officially-called-skate-and-it-will-be-free-to-play-and-have-cross-play-and-cross-progression'][U]confirmation it would release as a free-to-play title on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC[/U][/URL].
