One of the most defining parts of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 games is available ahead of the remastered games’ releases now that Activision has release the soundtrack for the games. The soundtrack features 18 songs that come from the original games, and you don’t even have to wait until September to listen to it. It’s available now on Spotify, though there are a few songs that were included in the original games that haven’t been brought over to this new soundtrack.

Some songs are notably absent from the playlist, but it’s unclear if those will be added a later date or if this lineup is the one we can expect from the remastered games. Music licensing situations may be to blame for songs that aren’t there, but even if some are omitted, the list still has a strong collection of tracks.
Just as the games will feature songs form the original releases, they’ll also feature a returning roster of pro skaters. Tony Hawk will of course be in the game and will be joined by others like Bob Burnquist and Elissa Steamer, and the venues the athletes will skate through will also look familiar to those who played the originals.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 are planned for a release on September 4th.A complete pre-order guide to the game can be found here.
