Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 confirmed for Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Activision Blizzard has announced plans to release Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 for Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

While the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions will arrive on March 26, the Switch version will be released later in 2021.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game will run native 4K at 60FPS, while the Xbox Series S version will render at 1440p and upscale to 4K. They will also support 120 FPS at 1080p.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 originally released for PS4 and Xbox One in September 2020 and was the fastest entry in the series to sell one million copies, according to Activision.

Digital players can upgrade to the Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle for an additional $10. The upgrade includes access to secret skater Ripper, retro gear for Create-A-Skater mode, and retro skins for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen.

Players who already own the digital deluxe version on PS4 and Xbox One can upgrade to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S respectively at no extra cost.

“If you’ve purchased a digital version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One or a disc version on PlayStation 4, you’ll be able to upgrade your version of the game within the same console family and bring your game progress with you,” the company said in an upgrade FAQ.

“The upgrade offer is not available with physical versions of the game on Xbox One.”

Additionally, Activision said that Create a Park save files will not be transferrable between PS4 and PS5.

VGC’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 review says of the game: “Vicarious Visions has delivered a superb remake of two iconic games without letting modern gaming’s vices get in the way.”

Earlier this month, Activision Blizzard announced plans to release Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC, having previously released the game for PS4 and Xbox One.
