| skate. Update 0.30.2 | 2026-03-23 | 0.30.2 Patch Notes | All Platforms | Live on March 24 The double grinds, pop-less grind exits, low pop height, and grind assist issues have been a top priority of ours to address following the launch of Season 3. In this update, we were able to patch all but the double grinds issue. Developer’s Note: We are planning to bring back popout double grinds in 0.30.5, our next update. While these were originally a glitch rather than an intended mechanic, we see the value in having them, and players have told us they enjoy them too. But, we need a bit more time to get these working in tandem with the updated Grind Popouts. Thank you for your patience |
