The game uses a third-person racing perspective and focuses on short, action-heavy courses. You pick one of three vehicle types—skateboard, inline skates, or bike—and race through 15 environments while chaining jumps, tricks, and clean landings. Controls center on acceleration, steering, jumping, and performing aerial stunts without losing momentum. Progress comes from finishing races, earning better placements, and unlocking additional tracks and challenges.
3Xtreme is an extreme-sports racing game for PlayStation developed by Take-Two Interactive and published by 989 Studios. Players compete on skateboards, inline skates, and bikes across urban and natural courses, blending speed runs with stunt-based scoring. With customizable riders and a strong street-sports attitude, it was remembered as a flashy, fast-paced late-90s take on the genre.

8 customizable riders
The game includes eight customizable rider characters, each tied to the different extreme-sports styles and trick sets.
Memorizing shortcut placement is just as important as raw speed. Try to preserve momentum through corners and use ramps to build stunt points without overcommitting and wiping out. On technical tracks, consistency usually beats risky trick chains. Choose a rider style that matches the course and practice landing timing to avoid costly crashes.
