They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but sometimes, you can tell that people are just trying to steal others’ thunder. Or, in the case of the video game industry, steal away customers so they can try THEIR product instead of their competitors’ product. It’s no secret that Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft have “spied” on each other over the years and tried to take ideas off of one another so that they could bolster their systems or gaming rosters. The next example of “stealing” is arguably the PlayStation Portal, which is meant to be a portal gaming device connected to the PS5.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2’s Latest Update on Steam Allows Steam Deck Players to Play Offline
19.10.2023 - 01:03 / gamingbolt.com / Deck / Pro
Soon after the Steam release of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, Activision has released an update for the game. The update, featuring only two changes to the game, revolves completely around making the game better to play on the Steam Deck, including the ability to play the title offline.
Curiously, the offline mode seems to be exclusive to the Steam Deck, and running the game by default on any other PC operating system still requires an Internet connection. Players, however, have discovered a way to trick the game into thinking that it is running on a Steam Deck, even if the player is on a PC running on Windows 11.
The trick into running the game offline revolves around setting the right launch option for the game, with Windows players needing to use an environment variable, while Linux players can simply use the command “steamdeck = 1 %command%”.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 made its way on to Steam earlier this month after spending almost 3 years as exclusive to the Epic Games Store. The game is also available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 finally gets an offline mode, but only for the Steam Deck
Three years after debuting for PC on the Epic Games Store, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, a remastered bundle of the first two games in the long-running Tony Hawk series, finally made its way to Steam earlier this month. By and large it's been well received, but there's one persistent complaint: A lot of players would really like to see the always-online requirement dropped. Yesterday it finally happened, thanks to the 1.1 patch for Steam, but only partially—very oddly, the offline mode is only available on Steam Deck.
