Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time has apparently been a huge success for developer Toys for Bob.
According to the game's design director Toby Schadt (via LinkedIn), the game has sold "over 5 million copies" since its initial multiplatform release in 2020. So in other words, this is great news for the future of Crash Bandicoot under Microsoft.
In our review here on Pure Xbox, we said Crash 4 was an "excellent modernization of a decades-old franchise" and was packed with a "ton of content to keep fans busy".
Most recently, Toys for Bob announced it was becoming an indie studio and leaving Xbox and Activision. The good news is the studio is already exploring a "possible partnership" with Microsoft, with the two parties reportedly reaching an agreement on the next game.
