Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is back, bringing the classic gameplay of the early 2000s into a modern era. With smoother mechanics, updated visuals, and online multiplayer, it’s a must-play for fans of arcade-style skateboarding. But can you shred the streets without needing a console or gaming PC?
Here’s where you can play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 via cloud gaming, including mainstream services and high-powered virtual desktop alternatives.
Xbox Cloud Gaming (Game Pass Ultimate)
If you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’re good to go. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is available through the Xbox Cloud Gaming service on day one. That means you can stream it directly via:
- Web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari)
- Android phones and tablets
- Xbox consoles
- Smart TVs (via Xbox app or browser)
- Handhelds like Logitech G Cloud and ROG Ally
Requirements:
- Game Pass Ultimate subscription
- A compatible controller (Xbox, PlayStation, or mobile accessories like Backbone One or Razer Kishi)
Shadow PC
Shadow PC is a full cloud-based Windows desktop. Once subscribed, you can install any game launcher (Steam, Battle.net, Epic Games) and play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 as if you were on a local gaming PC.
This is ideal if:
- You already own the game
- You want full modding or system-level control
- You use other launchers or tools
Shadow supports 1080p by default, with optional upgrades for 4K streaming and more powerful GPUs.
AirGPU
AirGPU is a “pay-as-you-go” cloud PC rental service. It gives you a virtual machine with GPU acceleration, perfect for installing any version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. You pay only for the hours you use, starting at around $0.75/hour.
It works best when:
- You want occasional sessions
- You want to install mods
- You don’t want a monthly subscription
Setup is more manual compared to plug-and-play services like Xbox Cloud, but it offers complete freedom over your gaming environment.
Highscore
Highscore is a newer player in the cloud PC space, designed specifically for gaming. Like Shadow and AirGPU, you get full Windows access and can install the game through your platform of choice. Highscore focuses on performance and low-latency gaming in Europe and North America. It’s still growing, but offers flexible plans and competitive specs.
There’s no shortage of ways to play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 in the cloud. If you’re looking for convenience, Xbox Cloud Gaming with Game Pass Ultimate is the easiest way to start. And if you want full control over your setup, Shadow, AirGPU, and Highscore offer the flexibility of a full desktop environment.
Whichever you choose, the skate parks are open, so grab your board and drop in.
