Day one Xbox Game Pass game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is getting great reviews from critics. Xbox Game Pass has been on an impressive roll this year, with a steady stream of high-quality day one releases. These have ranged from high-profile, big-budget games like Doom: The Dark Ages to unexpected hits like turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition and first-person puzzler Blue Prince.
Microsoft recently pulled the curtain back on the games coming to Xbox Game Pass in July 2025. As usual, the majority of the day one releases are exclusive to the Ultimate tier, but there should be plenty for Game Pass subscribers to enjoy, no matter what version of the service they're signed up for. Still, Ultimate tier subscribers are always going to get the most bang for their buck, and that is made especially apparent by a new addition coming on July 11.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Xbox Game Pass Release Date
Close Friday, July 11Looking through the early Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 reviews, it's clear that many are disappointed with the handling of Pro Skater 4's Career mode. Back in the day, Pro Skater 4 made a dramatic change to the franchise's Career mode by letting players free roam and take on challenges from NPCs, as opposed to being stuck with a strict time limit. In 3 + 4, Career mode has been tweaked so it's closer to the original trilogy of games - a change that was criticized even before launch. Considering the reaction to that decision before the game was out, it's really no surprise that many don't approve of it in the final game.
Now that the original four Pro Skater games have been remade for modern consoles, fans may be wondering what's next for the franchise. While nothing official has been announced, Tony Hawk himself has voiced support for Tony Hawk's Underground getting a remake. It would be great to see all the classic Tony Hawk games brought to modern platforms one day, but time will tell if that ever happens.
The July 18th arrival of the Xbox Game Pass title planned for Day One has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews, showering accolades and critiques on its immersive storyline with stunning gameplay features.
