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.
According to the latest rumors, it seems as though Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will be a day one Xbox Game Pass shadow drop later this year. Xbox Game Pass has seen some notable shadow drops since its introduction, with such announcements typically taking place during big Xbox game showcases.
The annual Xbox Developer Direct in January has proved to be a popular time to announce Xbox Game Pass shadow drops. That’s when Hi-Fi Rush was shadow dropped for Xbox Game Pass back in 2023, with the 3D platformer/rhythm action game becoming one of the year’s highest-rated titles. More recently, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black was shadow dropped for Xbox Game Pass at the 2025 Xbox Developer Direct. Now it seems the next Xbox Game Pass shadow drop is mere months away, seemingly taking place at the Xbox Games Showcase that will most likely take place at some point in June.

Leaker extas1s (as reported by Pure Xbox), who has shared accurate leaks in the past, has said that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will shadow drop after the Xbox Games Showcase in June. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 hasn’t actually been announced at the time of this writing, and in fact, the latest word on the project was that it was canceled. However, it seems as though Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 has been salvaged in the wake of Microsoft acquiring Tony Hawk publisher Activision, with the game potentially nearing release. And since Xbox now owns Activision, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 would be a day one Xbox Game Pass game.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Rumored for Xbox Game Pass
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 was leaked when pro skater Tyshawn Jones let slip that a new Tony Hawk game remaster was nearing release, and that he would be in the game. Extas1s has expanded on this leak by making the claim that the remastered game is the once-canceled Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, that it will be a shadow drop at the Xbox Games Showcase, and that it will be coming to consoles other than just Xbox.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 was a well-done remastered collection of the first two Tony Hawk games, bringing the titles to modern platforms with improved graphics, online multiplayer, and various other new features, though it was missing some licensed content from the originals. Ever since, fans have been keeping their fingers crossed for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 to get the same treatment. They are two of the highest-rated video games ever made, after all, and it would be incredibly convenient to be able to play them on modern hardware. For the sake of Tony Hawk video game fans, let’s hope the rumors are true.
