EA and Full Circle have introduced microtransactions in the closed alpha of Skate, named San Van Bucks, which are used for purchasing cosmetic items. While purchases will be refunded as progress resets before early access, the game remains free-to-play. Previously, it was confirmed that there would be no pay-to-win mechanisms. Players can earn loot boxes through gameplay as opposed to purchases, reinforcing a fair gaming experience.
"To ensure we achieve these goals at early access we have enabled the option to purchase and use virtual currency (San Van Bucks) in our ongoing closed alpha playtest."
"Skate will be a free-to-play title, so it was previously known that microtransactions would be part of the experience."
