The launch of Skate 4 (aka skate.) has brought a wave of excitement, especially for those who purchased the Founders Pack or Founders Deluxe Pack. These bundles promise exclusive items and bonuses to kick off your skating journey in style.
But many players on PS5, Xbox, and PC have reported a frustrating issue: the Founders items are not appearing after purchase.
If you’re in the same boat, don’t panic — your items aren’t gone, and there’s a reliable way to get them.
The Issue: Missing Founders Pack Rewards
Players who bought either the Founders or Founders Deluxe packs sometimes don’t see their rewards show up immediately in-game. This can lead to confusion, especially since the items are advertised as instant unlocks.
The Fix: Wait and Sync Your Account
The good news is that this is not a permanent issue. The items will show up, but it might take some time for the servers to process your purchase.
Here’s what to do:
- Wait 1–2 hours after purchase.
For many players, the items appeared automatically after a short wait. - Restart Skate 4.
Close the game completely, then relaunch it. This forces the game to refresh your account data. - Restore Your Licenses (PS5/Xbox).
- On PS5: Highlight Skate 4 on your home screen, press Options, then select Restore Licenses.
- On Xbox: Go to My Games & Apps, select Skate 4, then choose Manage > Restore Licenses.
- Be Patient.
Even after restoring, the servers may need time to sync. Don’t stress — the items will eventually appear.
Why Does This Happen?
This issue comes down to server-side syncing delays. At launch, thousands of players are claiming Founders rewards at the same time, which can cause a lag between your purchase and the items showing up in your account.
Final Thoughts
If your Founders or Founders Deluxe items in Skate 4 aren’t showing up right away, don’t worry — you won’t lose them. Just wait an hour or two, relaunch the game, and use the “Restore Licenses” option if you’re on console.
It may feel slow, but once the servers catch up, your items will appear, and you’ll be ready to shred San Van with your exclusive gear.
