Modes include:

• Classic Mode – Time-based runs with score/objective challenges
• Career Mode – Open-level free-roaming missions (like THPS4's vibe)

And yep, the skater and park creators are back — now with cross-platform sharing!

Soundtrack Vibes

What’s a THPS game without the tunes?

• Classic tracks return (though a few like T.N.T. are missing)
• New bangers from Turnstile, Fontaines D.C., and others
• Still the same pump-you-up playlist energy from the early 2000s

Multiplayer

Online and local multiplayer (up to 8 players)

A new “HAWK Mode” that brings back the frantic fun of collecting letters while pulling off tricks mid-match

What the Critics Are Saying

The Good:

• Gorgeous visuals
• Tight gameplay feel
• Loads of nostalgia

The Not-So-Good:

• Some wish THPS4’s open-world style had more freedom
• A few fan-favorite songs didn’t make the cut
