Crash Team Rumble 2023
Crash Team Rumble is a 2023 online multiplayer video game developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game features several members of the Crash Bandicoot series as playable characters. Players take part in matches where two teams compete, stockpiling Wumpa Fruit while blocking the opposing team.
In 2022, Activision teased a new Crash Bandicoot title by mailing influencers a pizza box with a receipt; the game was later announced at the Game Awards 2022. It includes playable characters from Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, whose movesets were adjusted for multiplayer gameplay. Development drew on Toys for Bob's work on Call of Duty, affecting the content roadmap beyond the first season.
Critics gave Crash Team Rumble mixed reviews, appreciating its gameplay, map design, and presentation but criticizing its limited content variety, live-service components, and pricing model. Reviewers questioned whether the game would maintain player interest or build a lasting community. Three seasons were released, adding new gameplay modes, characters, and maps—some from the Spyro series. It was Toys for Bob's last project as an Activision studio before becoming independent in February 2024, with a final content update issued the following month.
