Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 heading to new gen consoles

The critically acclaimed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 (4.5 out of 5 stars here on The Outerhaven) is making its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on March 26 and lands on Nintendo Switch for the first time in 2021. You can check out the upgraded promotional video above.

As the fastest Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game to sell 1 million units, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is a faithful remaster of the first two iconic games in the franchise, blending all the original levels, pro-skaters, old-school tricks, and more that gamers remember from the ‘90s and ‘2000s with new, beautifully recreated levels.

High-fidelity atmospherics will be added to the next-gen upgrade for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2. This unique graphical feature will allow players to enjoy the experience of sharper dynamic shadows, reflections, and lens flares, as well as enhanced skater textures and more on next-gen consoles. The upcoming, next-gen versions of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 will give players a variety of upgrades, such as super crisp 120 FPS at 1080P, native 4K at 60 FPS, spatial audio, and more, while the game on Nintendo Switch™ will give fans the chance to ollie with Tony Hawk and the line-up of pro-skaters on-the-go.

New Gen version of THPS1+2 takes things to the next level

Digital players can upgrade to the Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle with all the added features for an additional $10. The upgrade includes access to the secret skater Ripper (a.k.a. the infamous Powell-Peralta mascot), retro gear for Create-A-Skater mode, and retro skins for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, and Rodney Mullen. Additionally, Activision Blizzard, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATVI) is giving fans who already own the digital deluxe version of the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One a next-gen upgrade at no cost (except in Japan, which costs 100 Yen) on March 26. See www.tonyhawkthegame.com/upgrade for upgrade details.

Purchasers of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 for PlayStation 4 on disc will have the option to upgrade to PlayStation 5 through the PlayStation Store. Players will then use the game disc to download or play the game on PlayStation 5. An internet connection is required to upgrade the game. To download or play on PlayStation 5, insert your Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 game disc into your PlayStation 5 and launch the game. You will need to keep your disc in your PlayStation 5 every time you wish to play.

THPS1+2 on Switch – Smaller but packed full of fun
 
Getting to this milestone was no skate in the park. Skateboard icon Tony Hawk requested the help of videogame icon Crash Bandicoot to bring the remaster to new platforms, following the announcement that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time would be coming to next-gen platforms and Nintendo Switch on March 12. Crash, whose Bandicoot-branded swag appeared in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 this past November, leveraged his clout in exchange for a personal skating lesson from the original birdman himself, resulting in playful Twitter banter between the two videogame icons.
 
Pre-orders for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch starting today in select territories, releasing on March 26.
