Microsoft has pulled Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 1+2<\/a> from July 2026 Xbox Game Pass lineup, without offering an explanation.<\/p>\n

Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 1 + 2 was due to hit Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass on July 21, but a note added to the Game Pass post on Xbox Wire<\/a> confirms its removal from the lineup. It reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cEditor\u2019s Note (7\/13): We\u2019ve removed Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 1+2 from the list of titles coming soon to Game Pass.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that Microsoft owns Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 1+2 via its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, so it\u2019s in complete control of publishing the title. Indeed, Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater 3+4 was added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass this time last year, and Game Pass premium just last month.<\/p>\n

It has been suggested that there may be a licensing issue preventing the music-heavy game from being released on Game Pass now, nearly six years after it came out. You\u2019d like to think Microsoft or Activision would have been aware of that before announcing it as coming to Game Pass later this month, though.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is of course in the process of resetting Xbox, which saw 1,600 staff cut last week and four studios exit the business. Another 1,600 staff will go over the course of the rest of this financial year, leaving remaining staff facing an anxious wait to find out if they’re next on the chopping block. Microsoft has said it will now focus on its biggest franchises, including Halo, The Elder Scrolls, and Fallout.<\/p>\n
