Crash Bandicoot was brought back in a major way on PlayStation 4, to the point that Activision felt confident enough to give him a completely new game. With Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, developer Toys for Bob took the franchise back to its roots while rejuvenating it with a fresh art style and fun new gameplay. It also released mere weeks before the arrival of next-gen, leaving many to wonder if it would make the jump. Well, wonder no more: Crash 4 is indeed coming to PS5.
Yes, the game is being developed for Sony's new console, and it'll come packing all the buzzwords you'd expect. As outlined in our interview with Toys for Bob's Lou Studdert, the PS5 version of Crash 4 runs at a glorious 4K resolution with 60 frames-per-second performance. Additionally, it'll allow you to transfer your save file from PS4 to PS5, meaning you won't need to start your quest for 106 per cent completion all over again.
What's more, the PS5 upgrade includes support for 3D audio, the Activity Cards system, and of course the DualSense controller, with an emphasis on the adaptive triggers. Oh, and the game's load times, which could get pretty lengthy on PS4, will be greatly reduced thanks to that SSD.
The best part is that this is all being offered to existing owners of the game as a free upgrade. If you own Crash 4 on PS4, you'll be entitled to the PS5 version for no extra cost. We don't even have that long to wait, either; the game arrives on PS5 on 12th March 2021.

If I wanted to play Crash on PS5 then I’d buy Cyberpunk 😉
@nessisonett OOF
A free upgrade to the PS5 version? Is Activision feeling okay?
Oh heck yeah! I will wait for the upgrade to continue playing. Now if Tlou 2 could do the same lol
Well, It’s About Time it came to PS5. I’ll see myself out.
I need to finish the trilogy first 😃
I will happily take upgrade
@wiiware, I do too!!
So many good things being implemented. Save data transfer, free upgrade, reduced load times, adaptive trigger function, 60 fps.
Hype.
The trophies will autopop, so it's better to play the PS4 version and just autopop the PS5 version.
Held off on the PS4 version, so this is excellent news to me. I'll be grabbing this day 1!
I’m halfway through a perfect run, dropped off about 2/3 the way through, happy to get all those trophies so far, then clean up on ps5 🙂
HYPE, now I just need to find time to beat the Trilogy first XD.
I'm stuck in the first game, on the level with the "tribal village".
