Iron Galaxy Studios, the developer behind Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, has announced it has cut an unspecified number of jobs as a result of “current market conditions.”
Speaking in a post on LinkedIn, the studio commented:
It’s impossible for us to sustain the team size that we’ve carried this past year, even after our downsizing from last year. Ever since 2020, when everything about making video games started to change, people have been waiting for business ‘to get back to normal.’ These are the conversations we’ve had with colleagues and partners on our travels to the places where game creators gather. This year, we’re adopting a new posture to accept these current market conditions as permanent.
Players consume games in new ways. Publishers have different criteria for investing in the development of games. This new normal has impacted all our partners. As Iron Galaxy adapts, we must make painful decisions about what we can be as a company.
A number of teammates and friends are losing their jobs as we adjust to a new company structure. We are terribly sorry to lose them as we take steps to adapt to the climate of the video game industry. It’s time for us to evolve again.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 was release in July 2025 for PS5, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. You can read our full review here.
