Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 Xbox 360, PS3 Versions Delayed

The last-gen versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 have been delayed. Previously scheduled to arrive in November, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of the arcade-style skateboarding game are now without any release date whatsoever.

The delay comes as Activision is instead prioritizing bug fixes and content updates for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions, which launched in September to a cold critical reception.

"We are working closely with our developers to address the issues identified by our community. Our development resources are fully focused on fixes and content updates for PS4 and Xbox One, so we have decided to delay the release of THPS5 on PS3 and X360," an Activision representative told Eurogamer. "We will update the community when we have more specific information about a release date for PS3 and Xbox 360."

No new release date was announced, but Eurogamer's report suggests the game won't arrive until 2016.

As announced previously, the $40 Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Pro Skater 5 lack the "seamless" online multiplayer featured included in the new-generation editions.

Pro Skater 5's release in September was not what Activision would have wanted. The game was blasted by critics across the board for its glitches and other issues. GameSpot's Pro Skater 5 review scored it a 3/10. Days after launch, Activision acknowledged the problems and said it hopes to fix them.

"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," Activision said in its one-sentence statement earlier this month.
