EA and Full Circle, in partnership with X Games, are bringing the adrenaline fueled competition of X Games to the streets of San Vansterdam. From July 21 through August 25, skate.’s Stadium, which opened at the start of Season 4, will completely transform into the home of X Games San Van, and feature X Games inspired challenges, tasks, cosmetics and more. These additions mark another step forward in skate.’s ongoing focus on authentic skate culture, delivering a massive, multi-phase experience that enables players to transition from local street skaters to world stage X Games legends.

As Season 4 unfolds, San Vansterdam is hosting its own celebration by resurrecting a classic event from its history, The San Van Open. From July 21 through August 25, the Stadium will transform into an X Games inspired venue, with a redesigned layout based on the MoonPay X Games League Championship course in New Orleans. Players will explore a new themed street park, take on a unique competition bowl and ride a massive vert ramp, via open access during and beyond the X Games event window.

“X Games has always been about giving the world’s best skateboarders a stage to push what’s possible,” said Jeremy Bloom, X Games CEO. “Bringing that experience into skate. lets millions of players compete on an authentic X Games League course, represent their clubs, and experience the intensity, progression and creativity that define our sport. It’s a natural extension of what we’re building.”

The X Games event also introduces a progression system packed with new missions, several challenges inspired by iconic moments in X Games history and unique team tasks co-designed around the signature tricks of real X Games athletes. For the first time, challenges are brought to life with voiceover from X Games athlete Dashawn Jordan, adding an extra layer of authenticity and energy to the experience. Sets of X Games Club Tasks are themed around Los Angeles, São Paulo, New York and Tokyo skate scenes, and each are built around legendary tricks from these regions. Fan-favorite Spot Battles return with a new competitive twist and party sizes and Co-op Challenges have expanded to support up to eight players.

Players can also earn a variety of exclusive in-game rewards, including backgrounds, icons and standout team jerseys for Los Angeles, São Paulo, New York and Tokyo. Alongside earnable rewards, players can customize their crews and express themselves with uniquely authentic X Games League cosmetics available in the store.

“Working closely with the X Games team, we set out to capture the energy and intensity of the X Games League Finals course and bring that into San Vansterdam in a way that feels authentic to both worlds,” said Deran Chung, Senior Creative Director at Full Circle. “From the layout to the flow of each line, this was about translating a real-world competition experience into something players can explore and make their own.”

skate. Season 4 is rolling until August 25, bringing the competition vibes of the X Games to the city. Full details on Season 4 can be found here. The X Games San Van event and Stadium takeover will run from July 21 until August 25 and is available for all players. 

X Games San Van Event and S4 Mid-Season

skate.’s Season 4 mid-season update drops July 21, bringing one of skateboarding’s biggest events to the game - that’s right folks, the X Games are rolling into San Vansterdam.

For the rest of Season 4, The Stadium has been transformed into the home of X Games San Van, bringing a fresh new look, all-new challenges, and endless opportunities to throw down your best lines. And it’s Open Access for everyone - no Rip Chips or skate.Premium Pass needed.  

From the moment you log in, you'll be dropped straight into the action with exclusive Challenges, competitive throwdowns, rewards, and an atmosphere inspired by one of the most legendary stages in skateboarding.

From July 21 to August 25, shred The Stadium during Open Access. The redesigned venue is packed with competition-inspired features, fresh obstacles, and X Games styling that captures the energy of a live event. All three main sections of the X Games layout are based on the designs of the MoonPay X Games League Championship course in New Orleans, specifically: the massive competition vert ramp, the street park, and the bowl section. The Stadium isn't just hosting the action—it's the heart of it, giving every skater a chance to experience the spotlight and see what they're capable of when the pressure is on.

If you're looking to test your skills, X Games San Van delivers. Take on 10 unique X Games Challenges spread throughout the city: six inside The Stadium and four in the surrounding streets. Some are inspired by iconic moments from X Games history, while a special Own the Lot challenge gives you the freedom to get creative and stack up your best combo.

Alongside the Challenges, we’ve got a full lineup of event Tasks, including limited-time X Games Live Tasks during the real-world competition, Club-inspired objectives, and Champion Tasks built for skaters chasing clean runs and bragging rights. Throughout the event, four sets of X Games Club Tasks representing Los Angeles, São Paulo, New York, and Tokyo invite you to throw down iconic tricks inspired by legendary pro skaters from each scene and earn exclusive club titles along the way.

Competition gets even bigger with the debut of X Games Spot Battles, a brand-new way to battle for the top spot. Every X Game Spot Battle includes a nearby leaderboard that updates throughout the day, showcasing the top three scores on the server. X Games Spot Battles are for up to six players individual players (no parties). Our team put together some custom X Games Throwdowns that are always live and ready for action, challenging you to put down your highest score at six featured locations across San Van.  So, whether you're chasing first place, defending your position, or trying to crack the leaderboard before the clock resets, there's always a reason to take one more run.

Everything is better with your crew, and X Games San Van makes it easier than ever to skate together. Party sizes and Co-op Challenges have been expanded to support up to eight players during the event, making it possible to session with more friends. Players can also opt in to see others while participating in Challenges, Throwdowns, and other instanced activities, bringing even more life and energy to the event. We’re also permanently opening a couple of fast-travel points in Brickswich to help you get to the event more quickly.

And of course, no X Games event would be complete without fresh gear.

Earn X Coins by completing Challenges, Tasks, Missions, and other event activities, then spend them in the Event Store on a collection of exclusive X Games-themed rewards. Looking to level up your style even further? Additional X Games ownables will be available in the Featured Store, giving you plenty of ways to represent the event both on and off the board. The jerseys, tanks, and t-shirts are all replicas of the IRL gear that will be in the X Games in New Orleans. (We designed the decks ourselves.) There's no shortage of reasons to keep pushing, keep competing, and keep stacking clips before X Games San Van wraps up on August 25.

So what else is coming with 0.31.5/X Games San Van?

Skater Codes

Connecting with new San Van Friends just got easier. The Social menu is updated with a new Find Skaters hub, accessible from every social screen. Here you can enter a 6-digit Skater Code, search by username, or view and refresh your own Skater Code in one place. Players who haven't created a code will be prompted to generate one, and once generated, their Skater Code is displayed across all social screens for quick sharing. A new Skater Code Visibility setting lets you hide or show your code on the UI, making it easy to keep private while streaming or recording. 

Meet Ups: Block Parties

From August 7, 2026 (10AM PT) to August 10, 2026 (10AM PT), we're testing a new activity called Meet Ups. The first type of Meet Up we are testing are called Block Parties - a new city-wide meetup that turns Free Roam into a fast-paced multiplayer competition. Anyone nearby can jump in instantly and compete through a series of short, objective-based rounds featuring unique challenges, live leaderboards, and a chance to climb the standings for that Block Party. Every 30 minutes, the Block Party moves to a new location with a new leaderboard for you to dominate, bringing skaters together to compete, explore, and take on fresh objectives. You can join or leave at any time by simply entering or exiting the event area. We're excited to see how it plays, so jump in, give it a try, and let us know what you think! 

Griefing Improvements

Throwing a rail at the end of a ramp, blocking a sick setup - it’s annoying. So we’re improving the anti-griefing features in-game.  

• Added an Inspect Player button to the Objects so you can easily bring up their player card and block/report. 
• Made it easier to block objects in impossible-to-reach places.
  • Go into Quick Drop
  • Move your camera to the offending object
  • There’s now an Inspect Player button there as well, making it easier to block/report. (Blocking players will make them disappear and their Quick Objects will be mostly transparent.) 

Patch notes for 0.31.5 drop on July 20 with more details on fixes, improvements, and tweaks coming to the game.
