Trivia[]
- At the end of the game, Mat and Heather mention Skywire 3. However, in the blog post for the game Heather mentions that they have not got around to making a Skywire 3. This is similar to the end of Mutiny where one of the Cabin Boys mention a sequel to Mutiny, which also has not yet been released.
- Although the game is listed as a Main Game, the gameplay is very mini-game like.
- Skywire VIP and Skywire VIP Extended are the only Main Games that don't save the player's progress.
- Will Smith makes his first appearance in the Skywire series in the "Will Smith" level.
