Crash Team Rumble Beta Details

The Crash Team Rumble Closed Beta will run from April 20th – April 24th and feature five heroes and villains from the Crash universe alongside three unique arenas that are full of colour, danger, and surprising strategic advantages.

Fans who jump into the Closed Beta can play as Crash Bandicoot, Coco, Tawna, Neo Cortex and Dingodile – each equipped with their own unique powers and special moves.

In the Closed Beta, squads can select from three colourful and varied maps – each varying in size, layout, challenges, and Relic Stations that unlock unique powers to give teams the upper hand against their opponents.

In Crash Team Rumble, fans can play from a roster of friends and frenemies from the Crash universe, each of which fall into one of the three roles – Blocker, Booster, or Scorer. Teams strategically utilise the different roles to work together to be the first to bank the most Wumpa fruit in their drop-off zone, while simultaneously defending their opposing team’s drop zone. Unique Relic Powers bring an additional strategic element to the game, which squad mates can use to gain the upper hand when scoring, leading their team to victory. Crash Team Rumble features cross-platform play, allowing players across multiple consoles to squad up and jump into the competition.
