Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time PS5 Enhancements Detailed

By Christian Pepitoon

Game company Activision has revealed some new details about the upcoming PlayStation 5 version of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.

First and foremost, it will have improved graphics and performance, which is what the PS5 offers from the get go. It will support native 4K targeting 60fps and enhanced 3D audio with compatible headset. Load times will be shorter with the SSD power of the PS5.

The DualSense controller support will make gameplay more tactile than ever. With the adaptive triggers, players will feel the force of the Neo Cortex’s blaster, Tawna’s Hookshot, Crash’s Jetboard, and the vacuum of the Dingodile. This offers dynamic and immersive play.

Players can track progress with the Activity Cards feature. It can help track goals in time trials, flashback levels, and boss fights.
