For anyone who spent countless hours mastering kickflips through their console, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series holds a special place in gaming history. This iconic franchise, responsible for ingraining the lyrics of Goldfinger’s “Superman” into our brains and inspiring many to take up skateboarding, is making a comeback with a fresh remaster. Mark your calendars for July 11 when Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 launches for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
Following in the footsteps of the successful remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2, this new release revisits beloved levels like Foundry, College, and Alcatraz, while sprinkling in a few original twists. The soundtrack, which is as legendary as the gameplay itself, mixes timeless tracks with new ones, making sure there’s something for every fan. Alongside familiar faces, new skaters are joining the lineup, all backed by enhanced graphics suitable for today’s gaming standards, featuring support for higher refresh rates and ultrawide setups. For those who wish to get a taste of the past, a classic graphics option is also available.
Now, let’s dive into the pre-order options available. Each version offers something unique, and notably, if you’re on PC or Xbox, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will have immediate access on release day.
### Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Standard Edition
The entry-level Standard Edition is priced at $49.99. While it doesn’t come with additional bonuses, placing a pre-order will let you dive into the Foundry demo, offering a couple of parks and skaters to explore before the official release. Plus, snagging a pre-order grants you a special cosmetic perk: the exclusive wireframe shader for Tony himself.
### Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Digital Deluxe Edition
Next up, the Digital Deluxe Edition, retailing at $69.99, builds on what the Standard Edition offers. Not only do you get the Foundry demo and wireframe Tony look, but you also unlock a fantastic collection of cosmetics inspired by Doom Eternal. This includes the Revenant and Doom Slayer skaters, a set of five unique skate decks, and customization options for created skaters. Additionally, enjoy the Unmakyr Hoverboard and fresh tracks from the Doom Eternal Soundtrack. Excited to start? Pre-ordering this edition lets you jump into the game three days early.
### Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Collector’s Edition
For the ultimate enthusiasts, the Collector’s Edition at $129.99 is the epitome of cool. It includes everything from the Digital Deluxe Edition—early access and all those extras—but takes it a step further with an exclusive full-size Birdhouse skateboard. While this deck is a sweet collectible, you’ll need to bring your own trucks, wheels, and grip tape to hit the pavement.
Whether you’re a nostalgia-chasing veteran or a newcomer ready to grind some rails, this remaster promises to deliver the thrill of the skate park right to your screen.
