Overview

  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 debuted on July 11 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, completing the remaster of the franchise’s most celebrated entries.
  • Reviewers commend the remaster’s faithful gameplay recreation and upgraded visuals but criticize the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 segment for lacking full authenticity and the largely new soundtrack for sidelining original tracks.
  • Among the fresh challenge parks, Pinball stands out, though most newly added levels are generally viewed as falling short of the series’ classic environments.
  • Hawk has reflected on his mid-1990s battle to pitch a skateboarding game before partnering with Activision to launch the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater in 1999.
  • As part of the 25th-anniversary celebration, Hawk is auctioning the skateboard he rode for the first officially recorded 900 and sharing insights from the series’ two-decade legacy.
