Notably, however, not everything has been revealed yet. It still a few months from release, and its marketing strategy still has a few things up in store for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. One of those may just be crossplay for the game, as a recent interview indicates is a possibility.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 will feature local and online multiplayer, which naturally begs the question of whether or not crossplay will be available. Many games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have crossplay, allowing opposing console fans to play with their friends, but many games have yet to include the popular feature. It’s been a big demand for Apex Legends, for example, but has yet to manifest properly.
In a recent interview with GameSpot, Vicarious Visions’ Jen Oneal commented on both microtransactions and crossplay, to some extent. The former was confirmed to not exist at launch but microtransactions may come to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 post release, if the demand is there. When asked about crossplay, Oneal simply stated, “when the time comes, we will say more.”
Of course, this cryptic comment gives fans more questions than answers. If it wasn’t coming at all or if there were no plans to include it, the simplest answer would have been a “no.” However, the vague answer seems to indicate that something is possible, and it would no doubt be a big move for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. Another question would be rather this indicates possible post-launch support of crossplay instead of an at-launch feature, but that’s hard to say.
What the vague answer does mean is that it was not shut down for this remaster of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. It’ll be interesting to see when and if it comes to the game, all the while playing older versions of skaters like Tony Hawk.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 launches on September 4, 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
