Quick verdict

Of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 versions analysed, Xbox Series S has the best image, and Switch 1 is the only one left off the recommendation.

Best image of the versions analysed Xbox Series S 1080p from a 720p average, and the only 120 fps mode
Best previous-generation version PS4 1080p at 60 fps from around 635p, near Switch 2 level
Best image for the money Xbox the best image, ahead of PC
Best on the go Switch 2 a bit more sharpness and better shadows than the PS4 build

Series S leads

The analysis covers four versions: Switch, Switch 2, PS4 and Xbox Series S. Series S wins clearly on detail, lighting, shadows, textures and reflections, and it is the only one with a 120 FPS mode, at dynamic 720p. It outputs 1080p at 60 FPS from a 720p average.

Switch 2, PS4 and Switch

Switch 2 and PS4 share almost the same configuration: 1080p at 60 FPS from around 635p. Switch 2 picks up some sharpness and better shadows. Switch 1 cuts every setting and runs inconsistently around 30 FPS: it is the only version the analysis rules out.

What is missing, and price

There is no video comparison of the PC and PS5 builds, so those columns stay empty apart from the PC technical sheet.

In handheld mode, Switch 2 drops its render resolution below 540p.

How does it run on Nintendo Switch?

It is the weakest version. Every setting is cut and performance is inconsistent, around 30 FPS. It outputs 1080p upscaled from roughly 635p. It is the only version the analysis does not recommend.

What is the difference between Switch 2 and PS4?

Very little in settings: they are practically the same configuration. Switch 2 gains some sharpness and better shadows. Its real advantage is that you can take it with you.

Is it on Game Pass?

The analysis, published in July 2025, notes the game was available on Game Pass for Xbox. Worth checking before you buy, since catalogues change.
