EA's Skate reboot has proved popular since launching in early access as a free-to-play title last month, and it's just about to receive a whole bunch of new content as part of "Season 1" that begins on October 7th, 2025.
You can see a sample of this content in the trailer up above, with some of the highlights including new skateable areas, special Halloween and Maple Harvest events, 40 new Challenges that will rotate in and out weekly, new brand partners and soundtrack additions, a battle-pass style "Skate.Pass" and some changes to the in-game lighting.
"Drop into skate.™ Season 1 and let the good times roll! Explore skate spots, push your limits, and create in this dynamic social world that’s alive with energy. Complete weekly Challenges and keep stacking rewards to skate in style. Plus, discover fresh places to ride in evolving Community Parks. There’s also new music, more branded gear, and the first skate.Pass*."
"Seasons in skate. will expand San Vansterdam with all-new skateable areas, Challenges, Tasks, seasonal events, new brand partners, cosmetics, quality of life improvements and more. Each season will introduce a fun and unique theme, and we’re kicking things off with Season 1: Hesh & Fresh, inspired by the 90’s."
If you're interested in delving into the specifics of these new features, EA recently published a lengthy blog called The Grind: Vol 6 that goes into a lot more detail on what to expect.
That blog also includes a roadmap of content for Seasons 2, 3 and beyond, with planned features including new tricks, a new co-op mode, leaderboards, player-created parks and various other things.

It's still early days, but it sounds like this game is going to evolve substantially as the weeks and months roll on!
