Since being launched on previous gen consoles late last year, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time<\/strong><\/em> has been receiving high praise from fans and reviewers alike. Having recently been released on PS5 and Xbox Series earlier this month<\/a>, as well as being launched on PC yesterday, the game is likely going to be treat for new and old fans alike. However, sources are indicating that despite being a single-player game, the PC port requires an “always online” connection.<\/p>\n

A direct sequel to the original games, It’s About Time<\/em> will likely bring up a lot of ill feelings among gamers about publishers requiring single-player games to always be connected to the internet. It’s more than likely that Activision have done this for\u00a0Crash Bandicoot 4<\/em><\/a> in order to prevent piracy, but it’s unlikely to win favor with those who do not wish to play a non-multiplayer game that only works online, or who have an unreliable internet connection.<\/p>\n

While this is nothing new, especially when playing games through Activision’s Battle.net system which Crash 4 <\/em>does, it’s still arguably a point of contention for a lot of gamers. Going as far back as 2013 with the first announcements of the Xbox One<\/a>, Microsoft became overnight villains after saying\u00a0it originally intended the consoles to require an “always online” connection.\u00a0The company eventually performed a 180 on this, most likely due to the community backlash, but it hasn’t stopped other companies from pulling off since.<\/p>\n

However, gamers and the wider community seem to strike out against such practices, even if always online content is potentially useful from a DRM perspective. Even the fan-made Sonic Mania<\/em> had to drop its always online feature<\/a> after outrage from fans. Whether Crash Bandicoot<\/em> fans will hit back at Activision in a similar way remains to be seen, but it’s likely that there will be a lot of angry emails and social media posts that will be doing the rounds.<\/p>\n

Crash Bandicoot<\/em> is one of those franchises that just strikes a balance between appealing to nostalgia while also enticing in newer players. With the release of Crash 4<\/em> and the Crash Bandicoot: On the Road<\/em> mobile game<\/a>, it’s a series that has been given a new life, partly due to the N Sane Trilogy<\/em> remaster from 2017. However, this always online business with the PC port is more than likely going to upset a lot of fans and while the game itself is highly praised, the fact that it needs a constant internet connection despite not being multiplayer will likely be a thorn in many people’s sides.<\/p>\n

Crash Bandicoot 4: <\/em>It’s About Time<\/em><\/strong> is out now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X\/S platforms.<\/p>\n
