Activision has been talking about bringing Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time to the Switch for a while and the official game site has even potentially revealed a Nintendo version ahead of schedule.
Now, in the latest development, an individual who took a closer look at the game's INI file has reportedly uncovered a Nintendo Switch profile hidden within Crash 4. This was first shared over on YouTube by Canadian Guy Eh.
Although this could potentially be "leftover" Unreal code, multiple times throughout - the phrase "Copied from Falcon" pops up. This was the project name for Spyro Reignited Trilogy and suggests Toys for Bob could have "borrowed" some code from the base game of Spyro for the Crash 4 Switch port.
If this is the case, here's how the game could potentially run on the Nintendo Switch:
"It seems that Toys for Bob will be targeting 720p docked and portable with a dynamic resolution, understandable for Switch. We can also expect most-likely a 30fps target as well - just like Spyro."
Can you see Crash Bandicoot 4 making its way across to the Nintendo Switch eventually? Tell us below.

Yeah, this was inevitable. Just hope its not too far off, game looks like good fun.
I've put so many hours into this game already, and I'll do it again on Switch lol
@graysoncharles True but it's probably not ready to be shown off yet.
I'd probably get this in a heartbeat. Loved the N.Sane Trilogy on Switch.
I'm buying day one.
I wonder if the whole game will be on cartridge or partial download required.
Great game, bought it day 1 for my Xbox One X. Bring it to Switch and I'll buy it again day 1. Also Bring Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 to Switch please Activision.
@graysoncharles November's partner showcase will be here before you know it. Could be then depending on actual release plans (if all true)
@XenoShaun Yeah but in the partner showcase today, they said that that was the last partner showcase of 2020
Edit: Aaand the guy above me just said it oops
Crash 4 really should have been a multiplatform launch across PS4/PS5/XBO/XSX|S/NSW/PC, not some "PS4/XBO first, NSW/PC next, PS5/XSX|S last" shenanigans...
Cool I might just get it then.
They wanted to make players wait so they could double dip but now they just looking to break even by moving up the Switch release date.
It’ll come. Surely
They didn’t ‘want to make players wait’, it just required standalone dev time, they wanted to get it out on XO and PS4 before it got replaced, so that’s where they prioritised. Not everything is a cunning conspiracy designed to rob gamers of money.
Crash is one of the most successful third-party games on Switch. I was surprised Activision hasn’t confirmed it already
@graysoncharles That's a shame. Perhaps a January one then? If they go by the other Crash release dates it'll be June / July 2021.
@Doofenshmirtz my bad.
Given how poorly the game has done on the PS4 and Xbox, Activision is gonna desperately port it to whatever they can.
Shove it on the twin black boxes where 99% of the install base don’t care, then port it to the machine where that the natural consumer for this stuff plays on, hoping they’ll buy it again.
Pretty much the usual fare!
@BloodyMurder It probably did badly because people can buy 3 Crash games with modern graphics in the trilogy for half the price of Crash 4. £50 is a big ask for a 6 hour game in comparison.
Perhaps the extensive remaking has actually effected Crash 4 sales too. Think about it, if the trilogy was released with standard PS1 graphics the prospect of the first modern Crash game in Crash 4 would be a far more exciting prospect, no?
I hope it does better if it comes to Switch but they should be careful not to release it at the same time as Mario 3D World.
I'll buy it then. I like ol' Crash but I didn't want to play his latest game on our PS4.
>gonna buy again?
umm this game isn't on pc/switch... so if you only have that you cant re-buy. lol
Definitely going to buy Crash 4 and yeah I already know it'll come to Switch eventually. No way will Activision just leave money untouch.
All joking aside it was only a matter of time. I held off the spyro collection on Xbox or ps4 and I was proved right to wait and on this one didn’t have a hesitation it would arrive. They’d have to be allergic to money to skip the switch on this one. I’m in no rush to play but will get it down the road. Definitely a game I want to play
@Donnerkebab
When I say 'natural consumer' base, I mean the Switch is the home for the cartoon platformer, not the Crash character. Neither of the other consoles are as known for supporting those sort of games.
Apparently the trilogy sold 2.5m on the ps4, so I am wrong. 97.5% didn't care about it. Allegedly it sold 10m copies in total, so I'm curious where the other 7.5m were sold?
I hope that it is not another cloud game.
As a kid of the 80's the circle is now complete; Crash on Nintendo-in the end "mustache man" won ^^ Just wish the game would have props and give me the "SEGA!!!!" intro when booted up.
No point in getting to excited right now. Probably be October 2021 before it sees the light of day on switch.
I hope it's coming just take your time so it plays and looks good on switch
Oh please be true, I really want this game!
They leaked the Switch version on the Crash 4 website ages ago lol
Because of the difficulty and game structure, I haven't been able to get into crash trilogy, as awesome as the games are. If crash 4 comes, I'll probably skip it.
@graysoncharles crash trilogy released a year later on switch. So, be ready for that timeline, if they go they route.
Would instantly buy. Just 100% Crash 1 on collection and working my way through others.
Yes I would buy it. More third party titles need to come to the Switch. It's a great console and has sold a ton of units.
@westman98 no because they know full well people would just buy on switch and nothing else for people who own multiple systems
I would love for Crash Bandicoot 4 to come out on the Nintendo Switch. I have the N Sane trilogy on the Switch, so it would be nice to also have this one on there as well.
Prepare for the 60+ second load times like on CTR
Please not through the cloud, please not through the cloud, please not through the cloud...
I love this game to bits, I’d def buy a switch port...
May be the only way I see myself actually completing it..!
