Development

After the licensing deal between Tony Hawk and series publisher Activision expired in December 2015,, in January 2017, Hawk stated in an interview that he was in early talks to continue the franchise without Activision.

Tony Hawk first teased the game's existence in June 2018, in an interview with the skateboarding podcast The Nine Club. The game was officially revealed on December 3, 2018 as Tony Hawk's Skate Jam on iOS. Maple Media, the developers of Skate Jam, have a history developing skateboarding games for mobile platforms, with a flagship series of their own, Skateboard Party, of which Skate Jam is a spiritual successor to.

The game's soundtrack was selected by Tony Hawk himself.

Reception

Reception of the game has been mixed, with many users noting the difficulty and awkwardness of the controls. Mashable noted that, "At first glance, Skate Jam appears to be faithful to the original mechanics of THPS, while also adding in some newer elements."
