Crash Bandicoot 4 developer insists there's no microtransactions Following furore of CTR adding them post-launch. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 1 Jul 2020 22 comments Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time will not include microtransactions, the game's developer has insisted. Toys for Bob took to Twitter last night to reassure fans on the issue, following a Microsoft Store listing which suggested in-game purchases would be included. It's a thorny issue for the Crash franchise, following the post-launch addition of microtransactions to Crash Team Racing. "We're seeing confusion about MTX in Crash Bandicoot 4 and want to be [crystal emoji] clear: There are NO MICROTRANSACTIONS in Crash 4," Toys for Bob wrote. The game's Totally Tubular skin pack, a set of colourful throwback clothes currently being offered as an incentive to buy the game digitally, will also be made available to everyone. We're seeing confusion about #MTX in @CrashBandicoot 4 and want to be clear: There are NO MICROTRANSACTIONS in #Crash4. As a bonus, the Totally Tubular skins are included in all digital versions of the game.- Toys For Bob (@ToysForBob) June 30, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

But controversy erupted a month later when an in-game shop sprouted a set of hitherto unmentioned microtransactions and a battle pass. Crash Bandicoot 4 was officially announced last week and is set for a 2nd October launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. PC and Nintendo Switch versions have not yet been mentioned.
