Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a 2020 skateboarding video game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision.

It is the first major console game in the series since Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (2015) and is Vicarious Visions' final work as a subsidiary of Activision before it was merged into Blizzard Entertainment on January 22, 2021.

Bails (falling off the skateboard due to poor landing) attain no points for the attempted trick sequence and reset the special bar to empty.

All of the pro skateboarders from the first two games have returned for the remake, appearing as their current age;[11] the "Digital Deluxe Edition" offers 1980s-skins for some skaters.

[14] Jack Black provides his likeness and voice as "Officer Dick", a playable secret character who was also in the original games.

[16] Pro Skater 2's original secret character, Spider-Man, did not return due to licensing issues.

However, the original licensing deal between Tony Hawk and Activision expired in 2015 after the release of the poorly reviewed Pro Skater 5, abandoning the franchise for almost five years.

[13] Vicarious Visions studio head Jen Oneal confirmed that most of the licensed songs from the first two games would return.

[25] The game is noted to be Vicarious Visions' final work as a subsidiary of Activision before being merged into Blizzard Entertainment on January 22, 2021.

[31] In keeping with the lockdowns and other preventative measures imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic during the time of its release, the game also incorporated indirect references to COVID-19 and its impact on society, particularly in the reimagined "School" level where the campus is noticeably devoid of any human activity[d] and video billboard messages pertaining to health and safety measures implemented during the pandemic are being played.

[35][36][38][37][39][40] IGN called it a "tremendous turnaround" from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, and stated that it was "difficult to believe that they share even a shred of DNA",[6] while Game Informer noted that the newest entry ensured the series had a "bright future" once again.

[42] In his review for Destructoid, Chris Carter lauded Vicarious Visions for their attention to detail and named the game the most accomplished HD release of the series yet, calling it "genius" to introduce all the mechanics from later games all at once and incorporate them into the level, thus far surpassing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, also citing the vastly improved graphics and visual updates to the levels when compared to the latter.

[7][44] Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 has become the fastest-selling game in the franchise, selling 1 million copies in the first two weeks.
