Xbox Game Pass Getting a Blast from the Past with Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Tony Hawk!
According to a leak with a good track record, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy could be the first Activision title to hit Game Pass as early as August 2024. This remastered collection featuring the first three Crash Bandicoot games would be a major win for subscribers, offering a healthy dose of nostalgia and challenging platforming action.
The rumor doesn’t stop there. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy and the recent Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remake are also said to be joining the service “very soon,” potentially following Crash in September and October respectively. This staggered approach would allow Microsoft to maximize the impact of these additions, keeping Game Pass subscribers engaged with a steady stream of high-quality titles.
With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 confirmed to be launching on day one with Game Pass in October, the upcoming months are shaping up to be a banner time for the service. Black Ops 6, alongside these rumored Activision classics, would provide a diverse range of experiences for all types of gamers.
The rumors also hint at the exciting possibility of new Crash or Spyro games on the horizon. A recent tease from developer Toys For Bob, who previously worked on the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, suggests they might be collaborating with Xbox on a new project featuring one of these beloved mascots.
Whether these rumors hold true remains to be seen, but the prospect of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater joining Xbox Game Pass is undeniably exciting. It would mark a significant step forward for the service, offering a treasure trove of beloved games for subscribers to explore and enjoy.
