Overview
- Xbox updated its Xbox Wire blog on Wednesday to remove Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 from the list of titles slated for Game Pass and added an Editor’s Note that gave no public explanation.
- The game had been scheduled to arrive on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass on July 21 before the listing was changed.
- Microsoft owns Activision and the Tony Hawk IP following the 2023 acquisition, but ownership has not guaranteed availability in the past and the sequel 3+4 arrived on Game Pass day one in July 2025.
- Coverage and fan reaction point to licensing as a likely cause, noting the remake includes more than 50 songs with many legacy tracks that could face expired music or sponsor agreements.
- Microsoft has not said what will happen next, leaving players uncertain about access and prompting questions about how Xbox will handle older, licensed content and future Game Pass additions.
