Croc's World 5, the fifth adventure of the little green crocodile from German studio Sprakelsoft GmbH, is listed by Xbox Wire for Thursday, November 12, 2026 in its "Next Week on Xbox" roundup (November 6, 2026). Xbox Wire does not list it in Game Pass and gives no launch time.
A platformer in the spirit of the 80s and 90s
According to Xbox Wire and the Microsoft Store page, Croc's World 5 is a classic 2D platformer "in the spirit of the great console and home computer games of the 80s and 90s", easy to pick up and challenging to master. You run, jump and swim through four worlds: a swamp, ancient Greece, Egypt and the world of the Maya.
What is new in this episode
The store page lists 60 levels across four islands, each island holding 15 levels and ending with a boss fight. Two new mechanics stand out: whole sections of the levels keep moving, so jumps need careful timing, and in gravity zones Croc keeps running along the ceiling. You can collect up to three stars per level, including hidden ones, and a retro mode adds a CRT screen effect. The store also lists 10 achievements.
