Croc’s Switch Remaster Gets Free Platinum Edition This Week
▼ Summary
– Argonaut Games is releasing a major free update called “Croc Legend of the Gobbos: Platinum Edition” for console versions on October 16, 2025.
– The name change to “Platinum Edition” was necessary to add a full trophy set, including a Platinum Trophy, which couldn’t be done via patch alone.
– The goal is to deliver the best possible Croc gaming experience with these enhancements.
A significant free upgrade is on the way for the remastered version of Croc Legend of the Gobbos, arriving this week for console players. Argonaut Games has confirmed that the Platinum Edition will be applied automatically to existing copies on Nintendo Switch and other platforms starting October 16th, 2025. This substantial update aims to provide what the developers call the definitive Croc adventure, packed with new content and refinements.
Players can look forward to several exciting additions, including a brand new Time Attack mode that challenges speed and skill. The in-game Crocipedia will expand with more than 25 new entries, offering deeper insight into the world and its characters. A small but appreciated feature allows players to switch between different mixes of the main theme directly from the menu. Alongside these, numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements will smooth out the overall gameplay experience.
The reason behind the new “Platinum Edition” title is directly linked to trophy support on PlayStation. Initially, the remaster did not include enough trophies to allow for a Platinum trophy award. Since platform rules prevent simply patching this in after release, the team devised a clever workaround: launching a new edition of the game. This version comes with a full trophy set, adding 16 new Trophies and the prestigious Platinum Trophy that collectors seek.
For Nintendo Switch owners, this same update introduces an in-game Achievement tracking screen, mirroring the new trophy list available on other systems. The update is scheduled to arrive later this week, giving fans a fresh reason to revisit the classic platforming title.
