In a blog post detailing future plans for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, which largely covers the new Grand Prix, Activision revealed that it will be adding microtransactions to the game.
Players will be able to purchase Wumpa Coin bundles starting in early August. Activision says this is optional, and it “won’t change the game’s core mechanics – players will still earn Wumpa Coins by playing the game in any mode, just as before.”
Here’s the full rundown on what’s to come for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled:

Spyro Reignited Trilogy actually seems to be closer to 15GB on Switch
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Yesterday, Activision began taking pre-orders for Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The eShop listing indicated that the collection would be a 6.3GB download on Switch. However, the situation is a bit more complicated than that.
According to those who accessed information from Nintendo’s servers, a day-one update is in the works. The 8.7GB will push the total file size to around 15GB. Some felt that the original 6.3GB amount was a bit too small given what we saw on other platforms, so perhaps that update data includes one of the three games in Spyro Reignited Trilogy.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy releases for Switch on September 3. It’ll take up 6.2GB digitally. Since Activision isn’t including every game on the cartridge, the physical version will also have a separate download, though it’s unclear how large it will be.

171,445 Switch players have connected to the Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled online leaderboards. That’s according to the game’s official counter, which displays the number. The top platform in terms of players who have connected to the leaderboards is PlayStation 4 at 1,017,723. Xbox One follows next at 240,000 players.
While this data is interesting, it’s not exactly the best way of determining the sales of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. For one thing, those who have not connected online are not accounted for here, so keep that in mind.
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled skin renamed to be less racially insensitive
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
For the first Grand Prix season in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Tawna and her “Watermelon Tawna” skin were added. Players quickly took issue with the name. Because of her darker fur and watermelon shirt, many people felt that this was racially insensitive.
Activision and Beenox have since taken action. The skin has since been changed to Summertime Tawna along with a few others. “White Tawna” is now known as “White Tiger Tawna”, for instance. A number of other skins with “Black” or “White” in front of them have also been given a slight change such as “Black N. Tropy” and “Black Zem”.
