The birdman is flying back to action with the next-gen remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, set to glide onto the PS5 and PS4 this July 11. This iconic skateboarding saga, which first kicked off on the original PlayStation in ’99, proves that the shred is anything but dead. It’s making a comeback, and it’s more exhilarating than ever!
In this revamped version, you’ll be treated to the original content that’s been meticulously rebuilt, accompanied by fresh skaters, parks, tricks, music, and a whole lot more. Plus, with upgraded creation tools and a New Game+ feature, the grind never has to stop.
So, what should you expect as you roll down this virtual halfpipe?
Get ready to carve your way through two adrenaline-pumping tours in Career mode, aim for jaw-dropping scores in Single Sessions and Speedruns, or take your sweet time perfecting tricks and exploring every nook and cranny in Free Skate.
And the fun doesn’t stop there—grab your skate buddies because cross-platform online multiplayer supports up to eight players. Whether you’re competing head-to-head in intense game modes or just chilling in multiplayer Free Skate, you’re in for smooth handling and easy-to-master controls, ensuring you’re landing those tricks ASAP.
Talking parks, both cherished and brand new, it’s all here with a fresh coat of paint, boasting 4K resolution and new streamlined goals. You’ll find yourself immersed in classic THPS3 and THPS4 locales, alongside some bonus new ones. As you take on countless challenges, earn in-game currency to unlock the latest gear—everything from skate decks and grip tapes to wheels and apparel for your character.
Dive back into the thrill with New Game+, where you hold on to all your skater’s stat advancements from your initial run, and put those skills to the test once again.
One spot worth mentioning is the new Waterpark map—picture yourself dropping into the Mojave Desert at an old theme park that’s seen its heyday come and go. Its slides are rusting, the graffiti tells stories, and there’s a lazy river that’s anything but lazy for skaters. Skip the lines, hit those water slides, and prove your balance and vert expertise on each descent.
Speaking of fresh faces and moves, the lineup has grown with new skaters ready to join the originals, or you can craft your own skater with detailed customization options. Choose their name, hometown, and skating style, then hit the arena with an arsenal of both new and classic tricks. And if you’re feeling a bit out of practice, Tony Hawk himself will be there to guide you through an in-game tutorial, helping you master the ollie, kickflips, vert tricks, and more, all set to an expanded soundtrack featuring both classic and new tunes.
If you preorder THPS 3 + 4, you can access the Foundry Demo in June, which includes two skaters, two parks, and a select soundtrack to keep you pumped as you ride. Plus, preorder users will get the exclusive in-game Wireframe Tony Shader at the launch.
For those who want even more, the Digital Deluxe Edition offers Early Access, beginning three days before the official release. You’ll snag some wicked in-game extras, such as additional skaters like Doom Slayer and Revenant, who come with their own unique tricks, alongside new tracks and themed skate decks inspired by Doom, plus extra skate apparel choices.
If you’re among the most committed of skate fans, the Collector’s Edition is calling your name. It features a limited-edition Birdhouse skateboard deck, sporting the famed Wings graphic complete with Tony Hawk’s printed autograph. This exclusive bundle includes a physical copy of the game and a voucher for all the perks of the Digital Deluxe Edition.
Start marking your calendars—the wait is almost over! Preorders for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 are open now, with its release date set for July 11 on PS5 and PS4. More updates are on the way, so keep your eyes peeled and get ready to shred!
