Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time lands on Nintendo Switch with the same bold humor and blistering platforming that fans adored, now tailored for handheld play and big-screen sessions. This edition preserves the full adventure while leaning into precise controls and on-the-go thrills that Switch players crave.

Central to the experience are the Quantum Masks—mysterious totems that unlock time-bending abilities.
