Microsoft has taken Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 off the Xbox Game Pass lineup for July without providing a reason. The game was announced as a new addition earlier this month, but the listing was later replaced with other titles.
The removal is being linked to potential licensing complications involving the soundtrack and real‑world skate brands featured in the 2020 remake. Although Microsoft now owns the franchise after acquiring Activision, the older title remains unavailable while Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 continues on the service.
