For a generation that found themselves humming along to Goldfinger’s “Superman” and were inspired to hit the pavement with a skateboard, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series is making a nostalgic return with a fresh remaster. Mark your calendars for July 11, when Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 is set to launch on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
Following in the footsteps of the previous remaster, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2, this new release is bringing back classic venues like Foundry, College, and Alcatraz. But they aren’t stopping there—new levels are joining the mix. Fans of the original soundtracks will be thrilled to know they’ve been amped up with new tunes. Plus, the skater lineup is getting spruced up too, adding some fresh faces alongside the legends we know and love. These remastered games shine with modern visuals, offering support for high refresh rates and ultrawide monitors, though die-hard fans can opt for a retro look to relive past glories.
For those eager to secure their copy, let’s break down the different editions available for pre-order and what goodies each comes with. PC and Xbox gamers will be delighted to learn that it’s rolling out on day one for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
### Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Standard Edition
The entry-level edition of THPS 3 and 4, priced at $49.99, doesn’t come with extra bells and whistles. However, snagging a pre-order—whether you go for a physical or digital version—before the July 11 release date scores you early access to the Foundry demo. This demo lets you test drive two parks and the gameplay itself before the full game drops. Plus, pre-ordering lands you an exclusive wireframe Tony shader, a cool cosmetic nod to the Birdman.
### Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Digital Deluxe Edition
Opt for the $69.99 Digital Deluxe Edition, and you’ll still enjoy the Foundry demo and the wireframe Tony model. But that’s just the start. You’ll unlock exclusive cosmetics inspired by Doom Eternal, with playable Revenant and Doom Slayer skaters. Plus, five unique skate decks and other customization options for create-a-skater mode are included. To top it all off, you get the Unmakyr Hoverboard and tracks from the Doom Eternal soundtrack. And if you choose this edition, you get the head start of playing three days before the official release.
### Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 – Collector’s Edition
For the ultimate fan experience, look no further than the $129.99 Collector’s Edition. It packs in everything from the Digital Deluxe package, including early access to the game, but also includes a collectible: a full-size, limited edition Birdhouse skateboard. While it’s a rad addition for any collection, keep in mind that you’ll need your own trucks, wheels, and grip tape to fully set it up.
Whether you’re a returning pro or a newbie, this remaster offers a little something for every skater and gamer.
