Crash Bandicoot 4 Will Have Microtransactions Says Store Page 1 July 202029 June 2020 by Lara Jackson It’s believed that the upcoming new Crash game, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, will contain optional in-game microtransactions. The news comes from VG247, who reported that the Xbox store page for the upcoming title warns about the optional add-ons. EDIT: Since writing, developer Toys For Bob has confirmed the game will have no microtransactions.

We don’t yet know what form the microtransactions will come in, but it’s safe to assume they’ll be some optional skins of some kind (at the very least, anyway).ADVERT ADVERT Naturally, social media isn’t too pleased with the revelation, with lots of gamers taking to Twitter to criticise Activision over the move. “Activision: its about time we have microtransactions in a crash bandicoot game,” tweeted one user.

Still, it’s best to wait and see what Activision’s plans for the game are before we go jumping to conclusions. Hopefully we won’t have too long to wait, as Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is set to launch October 2, 2020. The game’s official description reads as follows: “It’s About Time – for a brand-wumping new Crash Bandicoot game! Crash fourward into a time shattered adventure with your favorite marsupials. Neo Cortex and N. Tropy are back at it again and launching an all-out assault on not just this universe, but the entire multiverse! Crash and Coco are here to save the day by reuniting the four Quantum Masks and bending the rules of reality. Credit: Activision “New abilities? Check. More playable characters? Yep.
