Crash Bandicoot 4
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time in the PC version seems to require, at the moment, a constant internet connection, or the always online, even if you play in single player without any multiplayer or online functionality activated.It is also a feature common to other titles distributed through Battle.net, on the other hand, so the question is not too surprising, but it still represents a feature that is always very little appreciated by PC users, also because in this case it seems that there is no is an offline mode and therefore, if you do not have an internet connection even temporarily, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time does not work.
To be able to play the Activision title on PC it is therefore necessary to be connected to the entire duration of the game session, which obviously does not represent a big problem in this era, but which still continues to be an annoying element for a large part of users on the Wi platform ndows.
This is a security system aimed at preventing piracy, but in certain cases, as Diablo 2 Resurrected should do as previously reported by Blizzard, developers can enter an offline mode which allows titles to be used on Battle.net regardless of online connection, but it seems that Crash doesn't fall into that.
In the meantime, we've seen the official requirements for Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time on PC, while more information about the game can be found in the recent review of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time for PS5.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time Requires Always Online On PC
The game has no online multiplayer.
Last year saw the new entry, the latest in a very long time, in the Crash Bandicoot saga. The game was quite a joy, maybe even the best entry in the series, at least far better than anything since the original PS1 trilogy. The game came to PS4 and Xbox One, but recently was announced to be coming to a variety of other platforms, including PC. That version is out now, and there is something that some may not particularly like.
As reported by DSOGaming, the game has now gone live. It’ll be exclusive to the Battle.net launcher, and the game will be always online. This is despite the game being almost entirely single player, with the only multiplayer component being a local mode that just includes players taking turns doing runs. As of now, there is also no announced online multiplayer mode. It’s not a huge surprise, since Activision has had the same online-only requirement for a lot of recent PC releases, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
