Woah! Activision Blizzard has announced that last year's Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is officially coming to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on March 12th, bringing some next-gen features to the game.
Specifically, the Xbox Series version will support native 4K at 60FPS on Xbox Series X and 1080p at 60FPS on Xbox Series S, along with fast loading times, Quick Resume support and Spatial Audio.
Here's what developer Toys for Bob had to say in an interview with our sister site Push Square:
"We've got the game running at a native 4K resolution at 60 frames-per-second, which allows us to really lean into the cartoon aesthetic that we built for the game. I mean, seeing the game running at 4K and 60fps is like watching butter on-screen. It's crazy what it does for the game — it's really crisp, really smooth. Super exciting to see."
If you already own Crash 4, this will be a completely free upgrade from Xbox One to Xbox Series consoles using Smart Delivery, and you'll be able to transfer your existing save over to the new version as well.

Gotta love smart delivery.
And that the upgrade is free. Interested in MLB the show, can't bring myself to spend $70 for the S/X version..
Very pleased to see this, also surprised! Activision do not usually like to give things away.
Wondering what the spacial audio is that they are referring to? I mean all models of Xbox One support spacial audio. Was it absent before? Is this a new implementation? A native one maybe, that isn't relying on Sonic/Dolby/DTS?
Now I'm wondering... should I hang on to my copy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2?
Saw this on twitter earlier today and was worried for a sec they would just sell the upgrade, glad its Smart Delivery.
Excellent news.
I think it looked like 1080p on my One X when I played it, so a jump to 4K and still maintaining 60FPS is most welcome.
Also shocked this is free considering it's Activision! Thought there would at least be some upgrade fee like with COD.
I’ve had the game in my back catalogue for a while, so one this upgrade hits I think it’ll be time to give it a whirl.
Great news that it's using Smart Delivery and it's free.
On Xbox.com:
"Buy the Xbox One version of the game to begin playing now, and once the Xbox Series X|S version launches on March 12th, you can upgrade via Smart Delivery at no additional cost".
