Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 Coming to Nintendo Switch and Next-Gen Consoles

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 remaster is coming to the Nintendo Switch and next-generation consoles this March.

Activision announced that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (THPS) 1+2 remaster will officially be making the jump to next-generation consoles and the Nintendo Switch today, with a confirmed release date in late March. The game originally released for the PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox One, and PC on Sept. 4 2020 to wide acclaim. Now, the developers plan on bringing the game to the forefront for a second time by taking advantage of the latest in gaming hardware.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 on Next-Gen Consoles

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X players will be able to play the THPS 1+2 remaster on Mar. 26. Nintendo Switch players will have to wait until a bit later this year—likely due to the differences between the Switch and previous-gen consoles.

Players can expect "super crisp 120 FPS at 1080P, native 4K at 60 FPS, spatial audio and more" on consoles with new expansive atmospheric effects including "sharper dynamic shadows, reflections and lens flares, as well as enhanced skater textures." These will likely make every course look like a dream.

The handheld Switch allows fans the option to skate with the birdman, himself, and the entire cast of skaters wherever they are.

Regardless of the platform, THPS 1+2 promises to live up to its hype as a complete, loyal remaster of the first two popular titles in the series with the glory and high-definition graphics it rightly deserves. Clearly, fans agree, as the title has become the fastest selling in the entire franchise.

All three options are currently open for pre-orders. Players who already own a digital game on the Xbox One, PS4, and prior machines can upgrade to their version with all their progress intact. This also extends to those who own the physical disc copy on PS4, only. More information can be found on the THPS 1+2 website.
