Every skate game, and how to mod it
How alive each game's modding scene is, what tools it uses, and where to start.
The skate series
EA Black Box's trilogy, the Wii spin-off and the 2025 revival.
Skate 3
EA Black Box's 2010 finale, and the most actively modded skate game in 2026. It now has a native PC port, a custom online server, cross-platform map conversion and a Rust rewrite.
skate 2
The 2009 sequel set in New San Vanelona. Its city now runs inside Skate 3 and as a .skate map in the Rust engine.
skate.
The 2007 original, whose flick-it stick controls reinvented skate games. Today it's mostly played and lightly modded on emulators.
Skate It
The 2008 spin-off for Wii, DS and iOS that put flick-it on a Wii Balance Board and a touchscreen.
skate. (2025)
Full Circle's free-to-play Frostbite revival. It's online-only with kernel anti-cheat, so it can't be modded, but its maps can be studied and recreated elsewhere.
Tony Hawk's
Neversoft classics on PC and the Unreal remakes.
Tony Hawk's (classic PC)
Neversoft's THPS2 through American Wasteland on PC, kept alive by THUG Pro, PARTYMOD, ClownJob'd and OpenSpy online play.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2
Vicarious Visions' 2020 Unreal Engine remake. THPSPro on Nexus Mods brings in levels from THPS3 through Proving Ground.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4
The 2025 remake. It has a deep official Create-A-Park with online sharing, and PC players get Nexus mods including THPSPro.
Skate sims
One stick per foot, community maps everywhere.
Skater XL
Easy Day Studios' Unity skate sim, built to be modded. It has thousands of user maps on mod.io, gear mods, and community multiplayer that came years before the official version.
Session: Skate Sim
Crea-ture Studios' Unreal Engine sim. Mods aren't officially supported, but there's a big community map scene through Session Mod Manager and the Illusory mod unlocker.
Indie and upcoming
New games built with modding in mind.
