Update: Activision has released more details for about the new-gen versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, including the Xbox Series X updates you can expect to enjoy. Here's what the Xbox Series X update will include
- Cross-gen progression
- Native 4K at 60fps
- Spatialized audio
- SSD and Quick Resume
- 1440p at 120fps
- High fidelity atmospherics
Activision also revealed a Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle (aka the upgrade) which will cost $10 and will get you the Ripper secret skater, retro gear for the Create-a-Skater mode, and retro skins for Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, and Rodney Mullen.
Original Story: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 new gen versions drop tomorrow, March 26, and they're bringing a host of upgrades with them.
The new-gen versions were announced last month alongside a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Nintendo Switch port, which is set to arrive later this year. If you own a Deluxe Digital edition of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on either PS4 or Xbox One or a disc version on PS4, you'll get the new-gen upgrade for free (for some reason this does not apply to Xbox One physical disc owners). If you don't, you'll need to pay $10 for the upgrade, which includes improved resolution over the base console versions, spatial audio, and more.
A tweet from the official Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 account details what the PS5 version of the game will entail. Here's what you'll get with the upgrade:
- 120fps at 1080p
- 60fps at 4K
- Cross-gen progression
- Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers
- 3D audio
- Activities
- SSD and immediacy
It's great to see that the new-gen version will take advantage of the PS5 DualSense controller's haptic feedback, although it's unclear exactly how that will play out in-game. I'm guessing you'll get some nice resistance while grinding and manualing, and it'll feel extra spicy when you eat it while trying to pull off a 900.
There was no tweet detailing what's included in the Xbox Series X version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, but we do know that it will also include native 4K 60fps, and upscaled 4K on the Xbox Series S.
Recently, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 dev Vicarious Visions fully dedicated to working on Blizzard games.
