By Tgames · · 1 min read
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X, an exclusive for the original Xbox, runs natively on PC in version 1.0, at 120 fps, in widescreen and with your own music.
The 2001 Xbox exclusive on PC
Released in 2001 on Xbox only, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X combines the levels of the first two games with five new ones. THPS 2X Recompiled, d’almost-drowned-rat (GPL-3.0 license), translates its code ahead of time into C, compiled for PC, with a Vulkan 1.3 renderer. Version 1.0.0 came out on 31 October.
What 1.0 brings
PC settings
Resolution up to 5× (up to 4K), true 16:9, FXAA, SMAA or MSAA anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, 120 fps on a 120 Hz screen without speeding up the game, RetroArch shaders, your own music and fully remappable controls, all in the game's Options menu.
What you need
64-bit Windows 10 or 11; Linux works through Proton or Wine, with no guarantee. You need your own US disc of the game, verified by its hash: no game data or code is provided. The author says they were helped by an AI (Claude Code), and their account is recent: only download from the repository listed in the sources.
