Following the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 this week, Activision has said that it's aware of the numerous issues and glitches plaguing the game, and is working on addressing them. To that end, Activision is collaborating with developer Robomodo on improving THPS5, while there'll also be free content coming soon.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 apparently suffers from a whole litany of bugs, as well as various performance issues and problems with connectivity. Activision acknowledged this in a statement sent to Eurogamer.

"We are aware of the issues that players have experienced following the launch of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 and are working with the developer to address these so that we can continue to improve the gameplay experience for all of the Tony Hawk fans who have known and loved this franchise for more than 16 years," the statement reads.

Activision will be releasing two new stages and five bonus skaters for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 as a free content update, adding to the eight levels currently available in the game. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is out now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will be heading to PS3 and Xbox 360 on 13th November.

  • Sweet more reason for me to keep playing. Sweet
  • That's nice of them. Hopefully most bugs will be fixed by Black Friday, when I plan to get this game on at least half off;-)
  • Activision launches a rushed glitched filled game? shocking...
  • #3 looks like it's the first time you witnessed an Activision game launch.
  • #4 looks like you can't detect sarcasm lol
  • Don't fix it. Just start marketing it as the new Goat Simulator, cause that's basically what it is: a glitch simulator.
  • This never should have been released when it was. All I've heard is that it is a glitchy mess and isn't worth of the THPS name. What a disappointment; I was really looking forward to getting back into the THPS series again. Loved 1-4 back in the day.
  • I'm actually enjoying the game still. It's not nearly as bad as the reviews make it seem.
  • why should anyone in the right mind defend this game
  • I like how he just launches in the air like he's on a trampoline or a pogo stick. What a pile of garbage. Can't believe it costs $60 (for now anyways).
  • to be far it looks like whoever is playing is trying to fall and glitch out. still makes no sense that there was an update bigger than the game itself
  • In this day and age, it still surprises me how many games are released in a state like this. Why doesn't someone answer for selling broken items like this? I'm an impatient person, but goddamn do I get tired of getting real hyped for a game, just to buy it and witness how broken or glitchy it is, and it always seems to take weeks and months (or in BF: Hardline's case, roughly half a year) to fix.
  • Crazy how Activision bested both Blizzard and EA in releasing a bug-filled mess of a game at launch. Then again, Blizzard is merged with Activision so I guess it makes some sense.
  • Activision was aware of the glitches the moment it went gold the fuckers
  • It's time to boycot broken games guys!
  • How? By recalling, refunding, another year in December, then give game for free? That's the only way I'd play this turd.
  • fuck i get so amped for games only to have this happen
  • Tony Hawks Pro TESTER 5 HaHa I only buy my game day 1 if there is a CE and I wait. I dont test them lol. Tales of Zestiria CE was tested 1 years ago. Same for Dragon Quest Heroes. Tony Hawks Pro Tester 5 on sale and fully patched? Anytime
  • Video was funny and this game is ambrassing lol Feel bad for fans that bought this n got this crap N this is planning to come out for last gen? Lol
  • The game is so broken, my local Redbox wouldn't even let me rent it :/
  • #18 "I get a game CE that includes an art book and a sound track maybe a keychain HaHaHa" you are the coolest kid in school, mang. ◔_◔
  • Leave it to the English to keep it classy. That footage was such a damning testimony to the inept bungling of Activision. However, set to the classical music score, the video was hilarious. The gamer finally landed one trick at the end and does a fist pump. "Yes!"
  • Tony Hawks Goat Simulator.
