"The big new addition in the upcoming season is Grom, an island that players can visit and skate around on. However, the island, which is a slightly updated version of the tutorial island, is essentially locked behind a paywall, which goes against a promise EA made before launch. On February 19, EA and Full Circle posted a blog talking about some of the changes coming in Skate's third season, which goes live on March 10."
"During the first month of season three, skate.Pass Premium holders will be able to visit Grom as much as they want, whenever they want. For those who haven't paid for Skate's battle pass, they'll be locked out until April. That's when a "very special multi-week event" will happen, and all players will be invited to Grom's "grand opening." After that wraps up, free access to Grom will be restricted once more to Premium pass owners."
Season three introduces Grom, an island for players to skate on, but access is gated. Skate.Pass Premium members receive unrestricted access for the first month. Non-paying players are locked out until a multi-week April event that grants temporary access for all. After the event, free access reverts to Premium holders only. Non-paying players can buy single-day passes for 500 rip chips, an in-game currency earned by playing. The gated island is a slightly expanded version of the tutorial island. The access change contradicts a previously stated rule against locking map areas behind paywalls.
