Skate Devs Discuss Tix Changes, Auto-Exchange, Tattoos and More Ahead of Season 3

As Full Circle heads toward Season 3 in Skate, the developers are giving players a heads up about a significant shift in how Tix will work. The team says Early Access has been a constant learning experience and sometimes what sounds good on paper plays out differently once the community gets hold of it. Tix are the latest example. They were originally meant to be spent in the season they were earned, but at the end of Season 1 many players were stuck with more than they could realistically use. In response to requests for more options, content and branded gear, the studio allowed all Tix bought with SVB and part of the earned balance to carry into Season 2. Even then, some players still lost a large portion, which the team agrees did not feel great.

Starting with the move from Season 2 into Season 3, Tix will no longer transfer between seasons, whether they were earned or purchased. The developers say this lines things up with how most seasonal currencies function while also setting the stage for a safety net. If someone cannot log in before the reset, an auto-exchange will kick in once the season ends. The system begins on the last skate.Pass page a player unlocked, grabs higher rarity items first and if nothing is left there it walks backward through earlier pages. It stops when the remaining balance cannot buy anything else and whatever is left after that point is cleared. Anyone who wants full control still has time to spend their stash manually before the deadline.

There is some added flexibility for skate.Pass Premium members. After the exchange wraps and the new season is underway, those players can continue earning Tix to unlock tiers they missed from the previous pass. Looking ahead, Season 3 will also start introducing more branded items and deeper customization. Tattoos are finally on the way, something the community has been asking to see and the studio says it will keep checking feedback and tuning the system as things evolve with more updates expected throughout the month.
