Overview
- Full Circle outlined a three-phase rollout for the Isle of Grom: March 10–April 14 for Skate Pass Premium only, April 14–May 5 open to all players, then post–May 5 via Premium or a 24-hour ticket bought with 500 Rip Chips.
- PC Gamer reports Skate Pass Premium costs 1,000 San Van Bucks, roughly $10, with a new Premium+ tier also coming in Season 3.
- Players criticized the move as a reversal of the studio’s pre-launch promise, focusing complaints on gating a map location behind payment.
- The official Skate account said plans can change during Early Access and framed the decision as part of keeping the game viable long term.
- SteamDB figures show PC concurrents have fallen from a 134,901 launch peak to a recent 24-hour peak of 2,646, as Season 3 also touts new cosmetics, brand tie-ins like Adidas, and store improvements.
