Developed by Beenox, this authentic Crash Team Racing experience has been remastered in stunning HD and refueled with all new content, including online multiplayer racing.

All characters, karts, tracks, and arenas from the original Crash racing game return in HD, with Crash and friends’ expressions and antics remastered in modern detail as they blast each other with power-ups and power slide around corners.

“Not only are we revamping Crash Team Racing from the kart up in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled,” said Thomas Wilson, Co-Studio Head at Beenox, “We are giving fans a whole lot more including all the characters and tracks they love, with tons of added animations and personality that the original platforms just couldn’t convey. We can’t wait to see fans go head-to-head as they test their Crash kart racing mettle in online multiplayer.”
