The anticipated follow-up to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 & 4, following the last remake collection, was unsurprisingly launched on current-generation consoles and Nintendo Switch. Subsequently, a potential Switch 2 version was announced post the new console’s unveiling, as Nintendo Switch users expressed hope for an improvement or upgrade in some capacity.
It appears that an upgrade for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and 4 titled Switch 2 is being offered at no cost. Regrettably, this offer is exclusive to digital versions, meaning those who purchased the physical cartridge won’t have access to it.
Following a captivating post about X from Switch Corner that garnered quite a buzz among fans, I found myself joining numerous conversations dissecting its workings. The cherry on top? This upgrade comes at no cost! Needless to say, the fan base erupted with joy and appreciation. In fact, many of us have decided to acquire the original Switch 1 model just to experience it on our shiny new Switch 2 consoles.
It appears that those who own a physical copy of Pro Skater 3 and 4 may not receive the free Switch 2 upgrade as they have tested. Interestingly, only digital versions of these games are eligible for this free upgrade, which could be disheartening to those who prefer purchasing physical copies.
It’s terrific that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch comes with an optional free upgrade, but many gamers opting for the physical copy are left out of this benefit. Offering an upgrade option to the Switch 2 version, even if it’s a paid one, would have been more inclusive and fair. The restriction of the free upgrade to digital buyers feels a bit off-balance.
For some time now, PlayStation and Xbox have been offering free upgrades on their current-generation consoles, including physical copies. Games like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West, which were cross-gen with PS4 and PS5, received immediate upgrades. Similarly, Xbox has made upgrades available for games such as Cyberpunk 2077.
It’s hard to justify Nintendo for imposing such restrictions on upgrades. If their policy is being passed down to other publishers, it’s questionable. Regardless of the reason, it will be intriguing to observe if this decision impacts the sales of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch or potential future versions like Switch 2.
It’s significant to mention that individuals who pre-ordered the game received early access, implying there could be a possibility of a free upgrade for the physical version in the future. However, some players claim they won’t have any upgrade path at all, while others argue otherwise. The truth will be revealed when the game officially launches on July 11.
