How do I get the Platinum Edition update for Croc Legend of the Gobbos?

With the exception of PlayStation, if you've already purchased the Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster, your game will automatically update.

PlayStation players will need to go to the PlayStation store and download the Platinum Edition version which they will be able to get for free if they have purchased Croc previously.

With the new Platinum Edition, is the remaster of Croc identical on all platforms?

Yes. The Platinum Edition update will make sure that all platforms are the same as much as possible. Some features may be limited due to platform restrictions. (For instance, the Platinum Trophy is available on the PlayStation 4/5 versions since other platforms do not have such Trophies.) Even the Nintendo Switch version will include in-game achievements.

Is there a physical release for the Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster?

We did have a preorder for a physical release in 2024 with Rock It Games.
That preorder is now closed.

I preordered the Collector's Edition through Rock It Games. When can I expect my copy of Croc Legend of the Gobbos?

The physical version of Croc is manufactured and distributed by our partner Rock It Games. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over their release schedule. Please contact them directly for more information regarding your order.

Where can I get the original classic PC version of Croc, not the remaster?

Croc Classic comes with a purchase of the Remastered version at GOG.com.

Will there be a Croc 2 remaster?

What is the Super FX chip?

The Super FX chip was a custom graphics processor we developed in partnership with Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). This groundbreaking technology enabled true 3D graphics on the 16-bit console, making games like Star Fox possible. It was one of the first instances of real-time 3D polygon rendering on a home console.
