Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch

From Polygon: "The excellent remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and its sequel came out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC last year, but the game is heading to a few new platforms soon. On Monday, the skateboarding legend himself tweeted a few cryptic messages about new versions of the Pro Skater remake in the near future, and on Tuesday, Activision officially announced that the game is coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

Hawk’s original tweets were mostly centered around Activision’s upcoming release of Crash Bandicoot 4 on Switch. Hawk said he was jealous of Crash’s new platform and appealed for a little help from the orange bandicoot to get Pro Skater 1 and 2 on new platforms as well. Hawk’s tweet got replies from all kinds of brand accounts, including the Crash Bandicoot account, Activision, and even Nintendo of America, despite the fact that the new versions of the game hadn’t been announced quite yet. This was clearly part of the marketing campaign building to the official announcement."

"The upgrade offer is not available with physical versions of the game on Xbox One."
Wow isn't my collector's edition so cool?

LucasRuinedChildhood1180d ago

It's also weird how this upgrade is $10 but the Crash one was free.

Imagine spending $10 to play a game you already own but with a little bit better settings.
Imagine if this came over to the PC space. "Use DLSS and RTX features for only $9.99"

....Oh god let's not give them any ideas

I agree, but want to point out that it’s free if you got the deluxe edition. The $10 also gets you the deluxe edition bonuses (extra skater, skins).

Amplitude1180d ago (Edited 1180d ago )

That just made me throw up in my mouth a little lol. I really need to stop supporting these games that have trash deluxe editions with skins and games that put paywalls behind simple settings changes but it's so hard these days

Anyway I bought THPS12 on PC so I'm not actually upset, but my main console is PS5 so I just really wish devs would stop this nonsense - especially when so many games have free ps5 updates. Can't help but feel like it's only gonna get worse if people don't vote with their wallets

PS5 and XSX should be able to easily run this game at dynamic 4K@120fps

Free with the deluxe is better than no free upgrade.

I actually wanted to play the sinking city again until I realized the upgrade wasn’t free. Apparently it’s out of their hands because the different versions have different publishers or something along those lines. It still sucks and these things should be free. I was pissed about control because I had the PS4 version and season pass but it didn’t qualify for an upgrade. They remedied this by making it a monthly plus game. Hopefully sinking city gets this sometime soon.
