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

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”.

[Review] Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

System: Switch
Release date: June 21, 2019
Developer: Beenox
Publisher: Activision
As far as remakes go, Crash Team Racing is top notch. The trick with this particular remake is that the team didn’t have to significantly change anything aside from the visuals. Originally pegged as the PlayStation’s response to Mario Kart 64, Crash Team Racing has always been the more evolved kart racer. The tracks remade from the original PlayStation 1 Crash Team Racing are faithfully laid out, and its original mechanics preserved. Even with the most recent game in its rival franchise, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might be the more refined game – some might call it stagnant – but Crash Team Racing, faithfully remade, still feels fresh and ultimately more interesting.
