Big air, long combos, S-K-A-T-E letters: the games that capture what made Tony Hawk's Pro Skater great.
What makes a game feel like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater? Two minutes on the clock, a list of goals, letters to collect, and above all the combo: a flip into a grind into a manual into another grind, the points climbing until you either land it or lose everything. If that is what you are after, here are the games that get it right, from the newest Tony Hawk to indie games that took the formula somewhere new.

- Developer: Rick-y Media AB (us)
- Released: 2026
- Platforms: Web browser; iPhone coming soon
- Price: Free, no ads
A 2D take on the Tony Hawk formula that you can play free in your browser. Disclosure: we make it, so it is not ranked.
What it borrows from THPS: three goals per spot (score, combo, S-K-A-T-E letters, gaps), a speed boost when you land clean, a special meter that gives double points, manuals that link tricks into one combo, and grinds that switch on the rail. What it does its own way: you earn your speed by pumping on the beat, and the whole thing is drawn in chunky 90s arcade pixel art.
What makes a game "like Tony Hawk"?
- Combos you build yourself. Manuals and reverts link everything, so a level becomes one line.
- Goals in every level. High scores, secret tapes, S-K-A-T-E letters, gaps to find.
- Buttons, not physics. A direction plus a button is a trick; you can do a 900 in your first hour.
- Speed and flow. Landing clean keeps you fast; bailing kills the run.
If you would rather have realistic controls, go the other way: our list of games like skate. covers the simulators. And if you want to know how the controls in these games compare, read how tricks work in skateboarding games.
Can you still play the old Tony Hawk games?
The originals (Pro Skater 1 to 4, Underground, American Wasteland) were released on PlayStation, Xbox, GameCube and PC in the 2000s, and are not sold on current stores. Tony Hawk's Underground, the one many people search for, has never been remade. The way to play the classic levels today is the two remakes: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 and 3 + 4.
