News: If you have been waiting for Tony Hawk to jump on to the new consoles, your wait is almost over.

If you enjoyed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 last year there is good news as Activision has just announced that a native Xbox Series X|S and PS5 version will be released next month. It will finally arrive on the Nintendo Switch for the first time in 2021. The upcoming, current-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.

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 you remember from the ‘90s and ‘2000s with new, beautifully recreated levels.

High-fidelity atmospherics will be added to the 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 the new consoles.

Digital players can upgrade to the Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle with all the added features for an additional $10 SRP. 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 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) on March 26.

Pre-orders for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch begin today in select territories. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 is available right now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and on PC through the Epic platform. Will you be picking up the Xbox Series X|S and/or the PlayStation 5 version?
