Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 is coming to Switch this year and next-gen next month
After some less than subtle teasing yesterday, Activision have confirmed that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is coming to Nintendo Switch, along with the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 and while Switch owners will need to wait until later in 2021, next gen gamers can ollie up on March 26.
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 FPS1, 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.
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.
Digital players can upgrade to the Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle with all the added features for an additional fee. 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. More importantly, players who already own the digital deluxe version of the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One a next-gen upgrade at no cost on March 26, no word on how players with a disc copy of the game can upgrade though.
Of course the game is also coming to Switch and Activision have released some b-roll, which IGN slapped up on YouTube, so check that you below and then below that, some screens from the Switch version. The game looks pretty good in motion, so if it plays just as smoothly, could be a great way to skate on the go, or if you don’t care about wiping out, while on a skateboard.
