Remember when skateboarding games actually ruled?
Back when “combo lines,” “manual chains,” and “revert loops” weren’t just for diehards — they were the standard. Well, the king’s back.
Activision has finally confirmed what fans have begged for since 2020: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is being remastered, and it drops July 11.

Tony Hawk Says This Is More Than a Remake

Why This Is a Big Deal
The first remaster — THPS 1+2 — dropped in 2020 and sold over 1 million copies in less than two weeks. It brought back a whole generation of gamers and introduced a new one to the high-speed, punk-rock world of virtual skating.
But that was just the warm-up.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 were when the series hit god-tier level design, tighter physics, and actual open-world flow. These weren’t just levels. They were skate playgrounds with lines for days.
Now they’re back. Rebuilt. Rebalanced. Reborn.
Wait, What’s the Game About?
You skate. You score. You combo tricks into absurdly high point totals.
>You launch off rooftops, grind on helicopters, and race to pull off a McTwist over a moving taxi before the timer hits zero.
It’s arcade chaos with a skateboard.

Skate Community Reaction
“If this plays like 1+2, it’s an instant buy.”“Please don’t ruin the revert system.”
“Tony Hawk games made me care about punk music. I’m ready.”
“Now give us THUG 1 and 2 next, coward.”
The hype is real. But so is the pressure. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 was the last great entry before the series fell off a cliff. This remaster needs to land every trick if it wants to win over both old-school and modern audiences.
️ Should You Care If You’re Not a Skate Gamer?
Yes — because this isn’t just a skate game. It’s a movement.
With Skate 4 still MIA and Session stuck in beta purgatory, this remaster could spark the return of trick-based sports games. And for younger gamers, it’s a fast, loud, combo-heavy adrenaline rush unlike anything else.
It’s also packed with nostalgia, attitude, and good vibes — a break from the sweaty tryhard energy of shooters and BRs.
Final Thoughts
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Remastered launches July 11, and it’s shaping up to be the loudest, most chaotic comeback of the year. Whether you’re grinding rails or just grinding levels in your favorite MMO, this is one remaster worth watching.
And hey — at least this PvP isn’t ruined by cheaters.
