Last week, Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled released onto the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and not only have critics largely be praising the remake, but more importantly gamers are flocking to it translating to some big sales. More specifically, the game released to one of the biggest launches this year.
In the UK, the game came in at number one as the best-selling game in the region last week, and is now the second highest selling game in the franchise, behind only the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Further, it’s the third biggest release in the UK so far this year, behind only Resident Evil 2 and Days Gone. Not too shabby for a kart racer.
