Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Crosses 10 Million Lifetime Sales

While Crash Team Rumble barely passed muster and Crash Bandicoot 5 is allegedly cancelled, the franchise continues to enjoy some modicum of success. For instance, Beenox’s Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has sold over ten million units globally, according to the series’ official Twitter account.

Launched in 2019 for Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch, it’s a remaster of 1999’s Crash Team Racing, Naughty Dog’s take on a kart racer involving the series’ characters. However, it also incorporates content from sequels Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Tag Team Racing on top of revamped visuals (which stretch the definition of “remaster”).

Several new additions include online multiplayer, new cutscenes in Adventure Mode, and the Pit Stop, which players can use to unlock post-launch content. The addition of microtransactions was criticized, but Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled otherwise received positive acclaim at launch for its gameplay, faithfulness to the original, and presentation.
