Crash Staff Rumble launched on PS5 and PS4 over every week in the past, however you would be forgiven for fully overlooking its launch, which was — a minimum of from our perspective — extremely muted. The multiplayer title was met with okay critiques, but it surely’s additionally needed to endure fairly a little bit of criticism from Crash followers who simply needed one other platforming journey, or a remake of PS1’s Crash Bash.

As a substitute, Crash Staff Rumble opts for a stay service mannequin, and whereas there’s nothing essentially flawed with that, everyone knows that preserving a stay service title afloat requires numerous effort — and a persistently wholesome playerbase.

Sadly for the Bandicoot’s newest outing, there’s already a sign that the sport is struggling to draw consideration. As identified by Video Gamer, the title had a complete of simply 30 viewers on streaming platform Twitch earlier this week. On the time of writing this text, that whole has dropped to beneath 20.

Now clearly, websites like Twitch aren’t completely indicative of a sport’s success, however they’ll counsel sure developments — particularly in relation to titles with a multiplayer focus. Coupled with the overall lack of curiosity we have seen on-line, and it isn’t onerous to imagine that Crash Staff Rumble has an uphill battle on its fingers.

And this was a key concern that we raised in our Crash Staff Rumble PS5 evaluation, which was in any other case pretty optimistic. “The web multiplayer area is so aggressive that it is robust to guage whether or not Crash Staff Rumble will be capable to carve out its personal area of interest and warrant help past what Toys for Bob has already dedicated to,” we concluded.
