Summary

  • Rumors suggest Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will shadow drop after the June Xbox Games Showcase.
  • If so, it would be a day one Xbox Game Pass game since Xbox owns the Tony Hawk video game IP.

Based on recent whispers, it appears that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 might be immediately available for the Xbox Game Pass at some point this year – a practice known as a “shadow drop”. This tactic has been employed by Xbox Game Pass since its inception, with these surprise releases often happening during significant Xbox gaming events.

At the yearly January Xbox Developer Direct event, it’s common to unveil surprise additions to Xbox Game Pass. For instance, the game “Hi-Fi Rush” was added to Xbox Game Pass in 2023, quickly becoming one of the highest-rated titles that year with its unique blend of 3D platforming and rhythm action. More recently, “Ninja Gaiden 2 Black” joined Xbox Game Pass during the 2025 Xbox Developer Direct. It appears another surprise addition to Xbox Game Pass is coming soon, possibly debuting at the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase, which is expected to occur around June.

According to an insider (known as leaker extas1s by Pure Xbox), who has provided accurate leaks in the past, claims that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 may secretly launch following the June Xbox Games Showcase. Interestingly, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 haven’t been officially announced yet, and recent news suggested the project was canceled. However, it appears that the game might have been revived after Microsoft acquired Activision, its publisher, implying a possible imminent release. Given that Microsoft now owns Activision, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 could be available on Xbox Game Pass right from their launch day.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Rumored for Xbox Game Pass

It appears that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 remaster has been unofficially revealed, as professional skater Tyshawn Jones accidentally disclosed information about an upcoming Tony Hawk game release, mentioning his own participation in the game. ExtraS1n has built on this leak by suggesting that the remastered version is actually the previously canceled Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4. Furthermore, they claim that it will be released as a surprise during the Xbox Games Showcase and will not be exclusive to Xbox consoles.

The remastered set of the first two Tony Hawk games, titled Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, was skillfully updated and brought to contemporary gaming platforms with enhanced graphics, online multiplayer capabilities, and additional new features. However, it lacked some licensed content from the original versions. Since then, enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 to receive similar treatment. These games are among the highest-rated video games ever created, so being able to play them on modern devices would certainly be a bonus. Here’s hoping the whispers about their remastering prove accurate for the sake of Tony Hawk game fans everywhere.
