Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 has been pulled from the Xbox Game Pass lineup for July 2026. Although Microsoft offered nothing in the way of an official explanation for this move, Xbox Game Pass may reportedly still receive the remaster eventually.
Developed by Vicarious Visions, now known as Blizzard Albany, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a bundle combining remastered versions of Activision’s first two skateboarding games from the turn of the century. The title has been part of Microsoft’s portfolio since the Xbox maker completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard King in October 2023. Since then, Microsoft has gradually expanded the Activision Blizzard King catalog available through Xbox Game Pass, with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 recently announced as joining the subscription service on July 21, 2026.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2’s Xbox Game Pass Release Reportedly Stuck on Licensing Issues
On July 13, Microsoft quietly updated its Wave 1 Xbox Game Pass lineup announcement for the month to state that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 had been removed from the schedule. The company offered no official explanation, with PlayDayOne later reporting that licensing issues prompted the decision, citing an Activision representative. It remains unclear whether the disputed licenses involve music, likeness rights, or other content. However, Activision is reportedly still seeking the approvals needed to bring Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 to Xbox Game Pass.
