Skate Story PS5 Pro Patch Largely Resolves Performance Problems, Some Instability Remains

Digital Foundry reports strong results on Sony’s upgraded console, with player feedback still noting occasional freezes in later chapters.

Overview

  • The developer deployed a PS5 Pro–specific update on December 15, confirming bug fixes and optimization via the official Skate Story Bluesky account.
  • Push Square identifies the patch as version 1.006.000 at roughly 432 MB, directing PS5 Pro owners to install it for the improvements.
  • Digital Foundry’s John Linneman says the game is now “awesome” on PS5 Pro and attributes the original issues to a bug that has been addressed.
  • Post-patch reports indicate markedly smoother play for most users, though some still encounter stutters or freezes in later, more complex sections or after rapid trick sequences.
  • Performance troubles were largely isolated to PS5 Pro at launch, while the base PS5 and other platforms fared better, and the game arrived day-one on the PS Plus catalog with strong critic reviews around an 87 Metacritic average.
