It’s an interesting move on Activision’s part, even if you consider the better revenue share they’re receiving over releasing THPS 1 + 2 on something like, say, Steam. There’s no mention of the Tony Hawk remaster on the page at all, nor in the page’s source code, and the third party tracker hasn’t detected any Tony Hawk additions to Valve’s platform over the last week. Platforms: PlayStation® 4, PlayStation® 4 Pro, the family of Xbox One devices from Microsoft, including the Xbox One X, and on PC through the Epic platform. But Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater won’t be sold through there: all pre-order links on the THPS website go straight to the Epic Games Store listing, and the official Australian release only lists the Epic Store. Thanks to Blizzard’s library of games, Activision already has its own digital marketplace with the client.
The exclusivity is interesting, primarily because the game is being wholly developed within Activision (Vicarious Visions, the actual developer of the port, was bought out by Activision in 2005). But if you’re looking to play the game on PC, you’ll have to pick up the game through the Epic Store, as per Activision’s release this morning. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is finally being remastered.
