Activision and Beenox's
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled was released this past Friday for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One; bringing back Naughty Dog's classic racing game starring Crash Bandicoot and friends.
In these 3 days after the game's launch, the remake of
Crash Team Racing has already managed to drift-boost its way into the number one spot in the All Formats Chart in the United Kingdom.
As if that wasn't enough,
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has also managed to become the second biggest launch for a game in the
Crash Bandicoot series, as well as the third biggest launch year-to-date behind Bend Studio's
Days Gone and Capcom's
Resident Evil 2 remake.
Last year, when
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy finally released for platforms other than the PlayStation 4, the game managed to
stay in the number one spot for almost 9 weeks straight — which is quite an impressive feat, considering that the game had alredy been out for Sony's home console for a whole year as of June, 2018.
The
Crash Bandicoot series definitely has a huge following, and
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled being able to make it to the number one spot in the UK, in its first weekend since launch, is also quite impressive. It will definitely be interesting to see how the game fares the next few weeks against upcoming releases.
