The Closed Beta of Crash Team Rumble was a beta test available to play by anyone. It began as a closed beta for those who pre-ordered the game, then was made public on April 22nd, 2023. The beta ran from the 20th to the 24th of April 2023.

Differences from launch

 * Emote icons were featureless orange silhouettes, while in the final game they are monochrome orange with some detailing.
 * The icon of Tawna's default Twirlin' emote was erroneously left in the beta style upon launch - this wasn't fixed until the Season 2 update.
 * Crash's Wumpa capacity was buffed in the final game, rising from 4 to 4.5.
 * Coco's health was nerfed in the final game, dropping from 4.5 to 3.5.
 * A charging effect was added to gems that are about to become available.
 * Visual effects when epic relic stations are activated were refined.
 * Dingodile's vacuum pull was given more visible particle effects.
 * Catbat, N. Brio and N. Tropy were not available in the beta.
 * Only the maps Just Beachy, Tiki Towers and Calamity Canyon were available.
 * Some punctuation and wording was altered in the game guide.
 * The background of the title screen uses the same design featuring character symbols as the rest of the menus rather than the blue landscape seen in the final.
 * Characters could only be leveled up to level 6, as opposed to 15 as in the final.

Battlepass
The Beta had a different battlepass than Season 1 in the full game, even containing some skins not available in the full game at launch.
