A Brand-Wumping New, Epic Adventure

Set after the events of Crash Bandicoot: Warped – available to play now in the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy — Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time pits Crash and Coco against Neo Cortex and Doctor N. Tropy’s evil quest to dominate the multiverse. Only now he’ll be available to play in beautiful native 4K resolution running around at 60FPS on Xbox Series X; the Xbox Series S version will be upscaled to 4K.

Further enhance your powers with the addition of Quantum Masks, giving the bandicoots even more abilities to stop Neo Cortex and save the multiverse.

Experience the classic precision platforming that the series is known for alongside a variety of improvements and upgrades to satisfy new players and longtime fans alike.

Crash Bandicoot for the Modern Era

For those playing on Xbox Series X, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time will have enhanced 4K resolution, faster loading times, and more! And you can play the way you want to by choosing Modern or Retro mode for that classic gaming experience — where if lose all your lives, you restart the level.

Bend reality with the four Quantum Masks — guardians of space and time — like Lani-Loli, who phase-shifts obstacles in and out of existence, or Ika Ika, whose power flips gravity allowing Crash and Coco to walk on the ceiling! Experience the story in new ways with alternate timeline paths, revisiting previous levels using different characters — like nefarious villain Neo Cortex and the reformed Dingodile — and more difficult platforming challenges. And test your skills in the new N. Verted mode, a wild take on mirror mode that flips levels and delivers new filters and effects across dimensions.
