Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 4 Patch 2.0 Expands Create-A-Park and Fixes Switch Issues

A major patch has rolled out for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 4 on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Patch 2.0 introduces Create-A-Park to Private Matches, along with a series of stability and quality-of-life fixes. Players can access the new Create-a-Park workflow from the multiplayer menu by selecting Private Match, then the park name under Select Map, and finally the Create-a-Park option to pick a park from the browser or developer maps. The update also adds a small but useful notification on the Stats page to show when a stat point is available to spend and expands account information with a link to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use during account creation.

Beyond these changes, the patch addresses a broad set of in-game issues across several levels and modes. Players will notice fixes for alignment and movement glitches in stages like Tokyo, College, and Waterpark, as well as improvements to rail interactions and grind behavior that previously pushed players into undesirable spots. Other general fixes include ensuring hidden deck trackers appear after collection, and stabilizing UI behavior when exiting the Challenges menu with a gamepad. Platform-specific tweaks target Switch and Switch 2 stability, including online improvements to prevent disappearing party options during map changes and better handling of large online combos.

On the Switch family, the update also tackles crashes related to undocking and redocking on Switch 2 and makes various tweaks to reduce visual and audio issues in social and voice chat features. In short, the release signals a concerted effort to keep a long-running, nostalgia-forward title responsive to modern gaming expectations while preserving its classic feel.

This patch reflects a broader industry shift toward live service-style support for long-running, beloved games. By adding Create-A-Park to Private Matches, the developers lean into community content and user-generated experiences, a trend that strengthens player retention and ongoing engagement. The emphasis on platform-specific stability shows how publishers must tailor fixes to each console’s quirks, especially for hybrid systems like the Switch family where performance can vary widely by model and setup. The update also signals that even retro-style titles benefit from thoughtful UX touches, such as in-game notifications and policy links that clarify player rights and responsibilities.
