Finally, Microsoft confirmed another statement from eXtas1s. A Spanish insider claimed in July that the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy collection would hit Game Pass on August 8th. That’s how it turned out in the end.
As it became known, on the appointed day, a collection of full-fledged remakes of the first three games in the series of platformers about the restless bandicoot Crash will become part of the PC and Xbox Game Pass library.
