Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 Removed From Xbox Game Pass Ahead of Release

Xbox has unexpectedly removed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 from the upcoming Xbox Game Pass lineup. The remastered skateboarding collection was previously scheduled to join the service on July 21, but it has quietly disappeared from the list without an official explanation.

The sudden change has left many subscribers wondering what happened, especially since the game had already been announced as part of the July lineup.

Microsoft Quietly Removes the Game

Rather than issuing a public announcement, Microsoft quietly updated its Xbox Game Pass lineup and removed Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2.

At the time of writing, the company has not shared whether the game has been delayed or removed indefinitely. No new release date has been announced.

No Official Reason Has Been Given

Microsoft has not explained why the game was pulled from the lineup.

Several possibilities have been discussed by the community. These include licensing issues involving music or branding, technical concerns, or a simple scheduling change. However, none of these explanations have been confirmed by Microsoft.

Until the company comments publicly, the reason remains unknown.

A Surprising Decision

The removal has surprised many players because Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is published by Activision, which is now part of Microsoft’s gaming division.

Many Game Pass subscribers expected more Activision titles to become available over time. Pulling one after it had already been announced has created confusion and disappointment among fans.

Players Must Wait for an Update

For now, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is no longer scheduled to arrive on Xbox Game Pass this month.

Whether the game returns to the service later or receives a new launch window remains to be seen. Until Microsoft provides an official update, subscribers will have to wait for more information.
