Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is 15% off if you pre-order now

Metro25-06-2025
The next batch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater remakes are even cheaper thanks to one retailer, ahead of the game's launch next month.
Activision's Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 is arguably one of the best remakes of the past few years, so anticipation is high for the modern revamp of the next two games.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 might not carry the same level of nostalgia, but the third instalment is widely considered one of the best. It remains to be seen, though, if they hold up as well in light of various changes, with the fourth entry's career mode no longer an open world experience like in the 2002 original.
If you're looking forward to hitting the half-pipe once again, one UK retailer has knocked 15% off the original price when you pre-order.
You can claim this discount by pre-ordering Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 through Currys, ahead of its launch on July 11, 2025. If you use the code 'HAWK15' at the checkout, you'll save £6 in total, bringing it down from £39.99 to £33.99.
While the discount isn't quite as high as the retailer's past offers on other games, it's the cheapest option out there right now. This discount applies to the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 version, although the latter is only a download code in a box. More Trending
If you buy the Nintendo Switch version, it's even cheaper, with the code saving you £5.55 for a total of £31.44. However, if you own a PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch 2, we'd probably advise picking up one of those for a more polished experience.

It's important to note that this is only the standard edition of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4. A digital deluxe edition, which costs £59.99, includes three days early access, additional songs and items, along with a Doom Slayer and Revenant skaters.
Along with all the original maps from both games, the remake features entirely new skate parks, online support, 4K resolution, and the return of Bam Margera.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 launches across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 11, 2025.

Video game spending has dropped almost 25% amongst young people

Young adults are spending less and less across the board, but the games industry has been hit the hardest. Gaming has never been the cheapest of hobbies, but it has undeniably become more expensive in recent years, to the point that many have had to cut back their spending. Not only has the price of consoles gone up, with the Nintendo Switch 2's £395.99 price tag considered affordable by comparison, but so have the games. The ninth generation began with Sony insisting it had to start charging £70 for games and now we have Nintendo asking up to £75 for Mario Kart World. Regardless of where you stand on whether such price increases accurately reflect the value of the games, there's no doubt that they're a key factor in why spending on gaming as a whole is seeing a decline, especially amongst young adults. Matt Piscatella, executive director and industry analyst at Circana, has shared a chart on Bluesky collating data on the average weekly spending among adults aged 18 to 24 in the US, within the four weeks ending in April 2025. Aside from gaming, the data covers spending on things like houseware, accessories, and clothing. Compared to the same period of time in 2024, there have been sharp declines in spending among young adults in all areas, with gaming seeing the largest impact – a drop of nearly 25%. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. For what it's worth, video game spending among all other age groups hasn't declined as much, but it's still dropped by about 1 or 2%. This isn't universal among other industries though, with spending on sports equipment and beauty products up this year. Video game spend among 18 to 24's is down sharply."Young grads are having a much tougher time finding jobs. Student-loan payments are restarting for millions of borrowers… credit-card delinquency rates have risen to their highest points since before the pandemic…" — Mat Piscatella (@ 2025-07-01T14:25:35.367Z While this data is specifically for the US, spending habits between it and the UK aren't dissimilar, so it's safe to assume that more or less the same applies here. Even if it didn't, the US is a massive and important market for the games industry, so this should still be cause for concern amongst games companies. This all lines up with past data. Last year, chip company AMD (which both Sony and Microsoft are partnering with on their next consoles) admitted that demand for gaming had become 'quite weak.' Earlier this year, another Circana report revealed that more than 70% of active PlayStation 5 and Xbox players in the US were dedicating a significant amount of time to playing at least one of the 10 most popular live service games, such as Fortnite, Call Of Duty, and Roblox, rather than any new releases. More Trending A big part of this is because they're free-to-play, so there's less of a barrier to entry. As such, anyone who enjoys games but can't justify spending upwards of £80 on new releases is more likely to shift their attention to free-to-play fare. This in turn stands to further incentivise studios into making live service games, which earn their money through microtransactions; a strategy Sony has obsessively chased for years, with very little success beyond Helldivers 2 (which wasn't even made in-house). But even that isn't guaranteed to address the industry's woes, as evidenced by how many live service games have crashed and burned over the years. This is best exemplified by a March report that showed the vast majority of PC players are not only primarily playing live service games, but ones that were at least two years old. With the likes of Counter-Strike and League Of Legends still holding a fierce chokehold on the market, what chance do any new live service games have?

The Last Of Us creator quits show to focus on Intergalactic and secret game

Neil Druckmann will not have anything to do with season 3 of The Last Of Us TV show, as he returns to work at Naughty Dog full-time. Naughty Dog is one of the most respected video game developers in the world but they're certainly not the most prolific. They haven't made a completely new game since The Last Of Us Part 2 in 2020 and they only announced Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet as recently as last December. Despite very little of it having been shown, the fan response so far has been muted and so with another secret game also in development, studio head Neil Druckmann has announced he's stepping away from The Last Of Us TV show at HBO and won't be involved in the third season. Perhaps not coincidentally, he's taking his leave after a less rapturous reception for the second season, which started to deviate considerably from the plot of the original game – which Druckmann himself co-wrote. 'Now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future projects, including writing and directing our exciting next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, along with my responsibilities as Studio Head and Head of Creative,' wrote Druckmann on X. Druckmann is co-writing Intergalactic with Claire Carré, but there has been considerable confusion about the tone and story behind the game. The initial teaser trailer suggests a knockabout, 80s-inspired sci-fi adventure, but descriptions of the plot talk about religion and faith being the primary themes. That seems an odd match for a game with swordfighting robots in it, so it's easy to imagine that Druckmann will need to knuckle down and concentrate to make it work, rather than being distracted by working on the HBO show. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. Although Naughty Dog has certainly made comedic games before, with titles like Crash Bandicoot and the early Uncharted titles, that was before Druckmann rose to be Studio Head. Whether Intergalactic is meant to be a return to that sort of tone is unclear, but that may be exactly what Druckmann is trying to hammer out at the moment. Naughty Dog has previously implied they have at least two new games in development, but there's no clue as to what they are, other than Intergalactic. More Trending Druckmann has been increasingly pessimistic about the chances of The Last Of Us Part 3, but while that does remain a possibility, it doesn't seem to be the second title they're working on, as Druckmann is merely a producer on that game, rather than a director. There is a long-standing rumour that the second game may have a fantasy theme, possibly something involving dragons, but there's never been any real evidence for that. If Druckmann is no longer dividing his time between his day job and the HBO show, we'll hopefully get to see what it is sooner rather than later.

EA thinks Battlefield 6 will be as big as Fortnite as it sets 100,000,000 target

EA is allegedly spending a huge amount of money to ensure Battlefield 6 is as popular, if not more so, than Call Of Duty. While EA hasn't officially shown much of its next Battlefield game, dubbed Battlefield 6 by fans, some people have been able to try early builds of it through private test sessions. Unsurprisingly, screenshots and videos from these sessions were shared online, against EA's instructions, but they did generate positive buzz among fans; something the series desperately needed after the underwhelming Battlefield 2042. The strong first impressions belie a tumultuous development, with reports suggesting that developers are worried EA is setting its expectations too high. In fact, it's said the company hopes Battlefield 6 will attract at least 100 million players, over an undisclosed period of time. This comes from a report by Ars Technica, which spoke with current and former EA employees about Battlefield 6's progress, with 'very few people' confident that the game will meet that player target. As one anonymous employee pointed out, previous Battlefield games have never even come close to similar numbers. Battlefield 2042 apparently only managed 22 million at most, while Battlefield 1 – said to be the best performing entry in the series – reached 'maybe 30 million plus.' Another employee added, 'Nothing in the market research or our quality deliverables indicates that we would be anywhere near that [target].' Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. This desire for 100 million players has clearly come about from the success of Call Of Duty's free-to-play battle royale game Call Of Duty: Warzone, which itself reached 100 million players in April 2021, just 13 months after its launch. Exact details about Battlefield 6 are scarce, but Ars Technica reports that aside from a dedicated single-player campaign and traditional multiplayer options, it too will offer free-to-play modes, including a battle royale. It's unclear if this means Battlefield 6 will be sold at a premium, charging you for the typical single-player and multiplayer modes but including free access to other online modes, or if the free-to-play options will be a separate game like Warzone. Regardless, EA seems to be conveniently overlooking a couple of key factors about Call Of Duty's player count. Firstly, Warzone launched during the coronavirus-induced lockdown period, meaning many people were stuck indoors and turned to gaming as a new pastime. Secondly, a lot of those new players didn't stick around even after lockdown ended. We don't have exact numbers for Warzone specifically, but a report in May said that, following the launch of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 last November, there were 33.7 million Call Of Duty players in total; a number that has only dwindled since. More Trending It's a similar story with Fortnite, the battle royale 'forever' game that everyone else is so desperate to emulate. It did successfully attract over 100 million players when it first became popular in 2017 but it wouldn't achieve such figures again until late 2023, thanks to the nostalgia riddled Fortnite OG season. EA's expectations for Battlefield 6 also mean its budget has apparently ballooned to more than $400 million (about £293 million), which is not only higher than initially planned but makes the game the most expensive entry in the series. Combined with heavy workloads and a complicated development cycle, exacerbated by there being four studios – DICE, Motive, Criterion Games, and Ripple Effect – spread across different time zones, it's no wonder that employees have spoken about becoming exhausted and needing to take weeks, if not months, off work to recover. Even if Battlefield 6 winds up being successful enough to give Call Of Duty a run for its money, EA could dismiss it as a failure if it doesn't reach those lofty goals, which in turn would lead to a lot of heads rolling across the studios.
