Skate‘s Season 2 update is meant to push the free-to-play title toward a grittier, more realistic visual identity. But players say the game’s new character models have landed somewhere far stranger. After checking in with their in-game avatars following Thursday’s patch, many fans are claiming their skaters look dramatically worse, with harsher skin textures, darker tones, and mismatched hair, among other things. Personally, my player is looking a bit worse for wear as well.
