Update: Activision has now confirmed to Eurogamer that it is "aware" of the issues and "working to fix."
Original story: The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S upgrade for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 officially launched on the consoles yesterday, but unfortunately it's been suffering with consistent reports of crashing thus far.
Fans have been reporting that the game is crashing from the main menu, and while a few workarounds have been suggested, it seems the only way to guarantee a smooth experience right now is to play the game while set to offline.
We had a chance to get hands-on with the Xbox Series X version earlier this week and suffered no issues at all, so it seems this might have something to do with the demand being placed on the online servers at launch.
In any case, it's not a great start for THPS on Xbox Series X and S, which had already suffered some negative press for being a paid upgrade for standard owners of the game on Xbox One. Hopefully Activision can remedy this issue pretty quickly, as the game itself continues to be really, really good on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
Have you been suffering with these Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 issues? Let us know below.

I'd read about these issues, tried booting it up once, had a look through the options...game crashed. Won't bother trying it again for a while. Very poor Activision, very poor.
To think, I paid for this privilege too. £10 'Upgrade'.
Don't usually do this, but I think I'm off to leave a bad review on the Xbox store, they must have known it was broken. Disgusting really.
Really scummy to make us pay extra for a version of the game that won’t even work. I hope Activision never attempts something like this again. (They probably will anyway.)
So that's £10 for the privilege of getting a game which crashes 10 seconds in....
Well done Activision!!
Glad i got the upgrade for free for buying the digital dulax edition. Now if only i can get the Series X
Not knocking the Series X at all as I love it and prefer it over the PS5, but why are several games so unstable on it? I could understand the earlier titles since their dev kits were behind Sony's, but there's no excuse for this at this point. It's been out for over 4 and a half months already.
Still, a bad look for Activision given that you had to pay extra for this.
Far to many series X games seem to crash,I wouldn't of payed for an upgraded game anyway..not worth it
Again Activisions Series version of a game crashes….first Cold War now this…and agains they didnt use smart delivery IDIOTS!!!!!!!
@StylesT Like what the only games that seem to crash on my system so far is Cold War and THPS both made by activision both not Smart Delivery…..fyi i have 16 series version games and these are the only two i have had issues with, yes a few crashes here and there with others but random and one offs.
I bought the upgrade and because of the lack of smart delivery, I had to download the dlc on my existing BC install, open it up to check the dlc was installed, close it, delete both then search in the store for the XS version (which it know acknowledged I owned), download onto the internal drive from scratch and then it all worked. And in fairness, although a Facebook friend said he was having these crashing issues, I've played a couple of hours and all good so far.
Pay extra for a version that doesn't work....? Nah.
@Blessed_Koz Just games in general seem more prone to crashing,I've had crashing on coaster planet,immortals as well as ones you have mentioned..there are a few more I can't think of right now, hitman 3 crashed for me ..but that was only once..but still I never had any crashes on hitman 1 or 2 on the Xbox one
@StylesT i don’t know those games have never crashed on my series x, coaster planet i have about 20l hours into it and no crashes yet and hitman 3 I have 40+ hours and had only one crash on launch week. Literally the only games that have crashed(meaning more then a one off) is activision games. As for immortals I just started that game about 5 hours in and so far so far so good it’s a Zelda rip-off, not as fun as breath of the wild but still solid.
@nicols did same cant get into a game every time I get to the menu it freezes and crashes…i have the x/s version too, its like if your tv can support everything the system can do activision games don’t work till they are patched
