Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time was never released on Steam, despite being a PC game. This was annoying to many fans. But now, Crash 4 has been spotted in the Steam database, and so we expect it to appear on that marketplace very soon...
WhenCrash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time was first released, it was only available for Xbox and PlayStation. Obviously good news for some, but there were a great many PC gamers who wanted to see the title brought over to their platform. It was as much a part of their childhood as anyone else's, they argued. And, indeed, they got their way. But Crash Bandicoot was only available via Activision's client Battle.net, not more widely via Steam.
As with Call of Duty moving to Steam, it seems Activision will do the same now with Crash 4. Here's what we know so far.
