It almost didn’t happen, but Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 managed to materialize as the next big video game remake. Just like the last bundle, this refreshed look at the seminal skateboarding titles will bring back all those mid-2000s feelings of doing impossible grinds and catching insane air while rocking out to a killer soundtrack. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 aims to be a faithful reimagining of the originals, but reworks the latter game to fit the format of the former, plus adds some cool new features like online multiplayer with full cross-platform support. No doubt you’ve got your shoes laced up and skateboard all tuned up, but have you preloaded the game? Here’s what you need to know about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4‘s release date, file size, preload options, and more.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 release date

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will kickflip onto PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC officially on July 11. However, you can get the game early on July 8 if you preorder the Digital Deluxe or Collector’s Edition.

On Xbox, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 comes in at a decently sized 43.89 GB. That’s not a huge amount, but big enough that you will want to take a look at your console or PC’s hard drive space just to be sure it can hold all those sick tricks and skaters.

Anyone who has preordered Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on either the Xbox Series X/S console or is a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber can preload the game right now.

For whatever reason, PlayStation and PC players are still not able to preload the game as of the time of this writing. However, I assume that will change in the coming days as we approach the early access launch.

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been
Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?
Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.

Waiting for a massive Game Pass download to finish could soon become a little less painful.

The feature is designed to speed up game installs and updates by automatically connecting users to the fastest available content server. While it's currently limited to Xbox Insider testers, early reports suggest the improvements are also making their way to the Xbox PC app, potentially solving one of the platform's longest-standing frustrations.
