===Background===
'''Activision O<sub>2</sub>''' was a banner label [[Activision Publishing|'''Activision''']] launched in mid-2001 in response to the success of the first two ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater'' games. The label focused on extreme sports games with a similar feel to the aforementioned games. The first game published under the Activision O2 label was ''Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX'', which was released on May 14, 2001, and the last was ''Wakeboarding Unleashed featuring Shaun Marray'' (which was also the only game under the O2 label not to use the "''Pro''" naming structure), which was released on June 3, 2003. Shortly after ''Wakeboarding Unleashed''<nowiki/>'s release, Activision discontinued the label, and future sports games published by the company simply used the regular Activision logo.
'''Activision O<sub>2</sub>''' was a short-lived division of [[Activision]] that focused on extreme sports games. It only lasted two years before being folded.
