The transition from last-gen to current-gen over the course of the last six months has been unlike any other. Perhaps most notably is the decision by devs to offer free upgrades on games that span both generations, for the most part anyway. One of the few games that appears to have side-stepped this norm is Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2.
Don’t panic if you own the deluxe edition of the game on PS4. That version of the remake comes complete with a free upgrade. However, if you only opted for the standard edition, the upgrade will cost you an additional $10. It’s even worse news for anyone playing on Xbox One. While most of what applies to the PS4 version remains the same, there will be no upgrade available whatsoever for its physical edition. That’s according to the fine print on Activision’s page for the game, meaning Xbox One players will have to buy a new copy should they want to play the next-gen version on Series X/S.
What isn’t clear is why this is, exactly. Why PlayStation players have nothing to worry about other than the $10 fee, and even if you have a digital edition of the game on Xbox one you’re all good other than that same ten bucks. Especially after Xbox stated long before the Series X hit the market that it didn’t want anyone paying for next-gen upgrades of games they already own on Xbox One.
