A few weeks ago, it was revealed that the excellent PlayStation 4 remake Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is manualling its way onto PS5. While it's a game that looks great and runs very well on the older hardware, it will be that little bit better on Sony's new console. We already know some of the benefits of the enhanced version, but a new tweet from the game's official account gives us the full lowdown.
As you can see from this post, THPS 1 + 2 will support 60 frames-per-second at 4K or, if you've a compatible display, 120 frames-per-second at 1080p. It'll also take advantage of 3D audio, faster loading, Activity Cards, and DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Finally, the game will allow you to import a PS4 save, meaning your progress will carry over to the PS5 version. It seems like the game is making full use of the new machine, which is great to see.
While we're on the subject of this game, it's worth mentioning again: it may or may not be a free upgrade, depending on which version of the game you own on PS4. Digital Deluxe Edition owners will receive the PS5 version free of charge, while those who have the vanilla release will have to pay $10. For your money, you obviously get the upgrade, but you'll also receive the Digital Deluxe Edition goodies as well, so it's not so bad.
The game releases on PS5 very soon, on 26th March. Will you be pulling off sick combos in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on PS5? Tell us in the comments section below.

I'll be having a look at this sooner or later. Of that, we can be sure!
Sounds good. I never played this properly on PS4 (about an hour) so I can't wait to dig in.
1080p/120fps sounds good - this should work on hdmi 2.0 displays right?
So disk owners have to pay a £10? For extra features I am ok with that. Free is better mind you
I am a bit disappointed having to pay the extra £10 - I appreciate you get extra content, but it's basically an extra character and a couple of outfits
I didn't buy the deluxe edition in the first place because these extra bits aren't worth the money to me...I'll wait to see if the PS5 enhancements are worth it though
@lolwhatno I’m with you on the touchpad very underutilized I’m surprised it made it in the dualsense
It's almost like...
gasp
IT'S A PS5 GAME
faints
@lolwhatno I was actually trying to put asterisks around the sentences. Turns out it makes them bold
I'd demonstrate, but rather than asterisks you'd just see a bold sentence
But when will THPS3 release as DLC...
@lolwhatno
If you edit the comment, you can see that it changes your asterisks to "strong" tags. You can actually input these directly and if you replace "strong" with "em" that'll give you italics. Not sure if there's a shortcut key to do that like the asterisk does
(these are based off HTML tags but in a slightly different format, i.e. square brackets)
@lolwhatno that's one of the nicest things I've heard anyone say to anyone, ever
@danlk1ng I think it's underscores either side of the word - like _ this _ without the spaces is this.
Edit: Yep, seems that's correct.
@lolwhatno That's one of the nicest things I've read anyone type to anyone, ever
@ILikeStake you say that, but it's spring here. The leaves are all sitting smugly in the trees looking down on me like "good luck with that!". I will however obtain my crunchiest crack, by ripping off their puny faces (that might be my recent god of War playthrough talking, though )
Does this mean split screen co-op is 60fps for each player??
Been holding off jumping back into this for the PS5 upgrade. Absolutely adored it when it launched last year - can't wait to check it out with the new features!
It's a shame Vicarious Visions won't be helming the next project, but I still hope Activision do something fresh with the series on PS5. It deserves a new entry in this classic style.
Since it has cross-save I wonder if the trophies that I earned on my PS4 save will auto-pop on PS5 when I upload my save.
I spent so much time on these games as a teenager but I’ve been holding off for a sale as I’m not sure how much I’ll play them now.
Very tempted by PS5 version though....
@Waluigi999 yeah. I get 120fps on my 2.0.
@TechaNinja
Great news! Looking forward to this then
@bpomber I'm wondering the same thing. I managed to get all the trophies except the level 100 nightmare trophy. I don't want to do everything again. Took me 100+ hours and I'm only at level 78.
Edit: If they do it the same way as they did Crash Bandicoot 4 then the cross save will auto pop all the trophies you got on a fresh PS5 trophy list.
@lolwhatno Agreed. After playing Astro's Playroom, I realized how much the Dual Sense can add to games. I was surprised to have a slight brief disappointment when I went to play other games that don't utilize it.
The Activity Cards is also something I really like more than I thought I would. Time is not on my side... so I appreciate the ability to easily check the cards to find something, or to give me a bit of direction.
@lolwhatno Still think the touchpad not being used is quite a missed opportunity in some games i really thought yeah this would be a great fit but who wants too put in some effort too make it happen.
@sketchturner exactly! That's what I want to know.
