Skate 4 Launch Glitch Patched | New Update

The “launch glitch” in Skate has been patched by the developers at Full Circle. This was a notable bug that allowed players to launch their skater into the air by performing a specific combination of moves, such as T-posing and emoting.

How the Glitch was Patched

While the developers don’t specifically mention the “launch glitch” by name in their official patch notes, community discussions on platforms like Reddit confirm that the exploit was made significantly more difficult, if not entirely removed, in recent updates.

• Changes to Glitch Mechanics:

  • A Reddit user noted that after a patch, the launch glitch only worked for the tallest character height setting and was no longer possible with other heights, suggesting that the game’s physics were tweaked to address the exploit.

• Focus on Game-Breaking Bugs:

  • Forum posts from EA’s official site mention that the launch glitch was patched “for the sake of actually game-breaking bugs.” This indicates that the developers are prioritizing fixes for issues that hinder gameplay progression, stability, and online functionality.

New Updates

The most recent major updates for Skate coincide with the launch of Season 1, which went live on October 7, 2025.

Key features and bug fixes in the new update include:

• PC Improvements:

  • Better widescreen support and a fixed resolution selector.

• Stability:

  • A significant number of crash bugs have been resolved, leading to a smoother experience.

• Gameplay and Mission Fixes:

  • Issues with core gameplay responsiveness and mission progression have been addressed. The update also fixed a number of environmental bugs.

• New Content:

  • The update introduced new seasonal events (like “Skate-o-Ween”), new skateable areas, new challenges, and a Skate Pass.

While some players enjoyed the creative freedom the glitches provided, the developers are actively working to create a more stable and balanced experience in the game’s Early Access phase. The removal of the launch glitch is part of their broader effort to fix bugs and improve the overall gameplay experience.
