A totally remastered experience

The entire Crash Team Racing experience was rebuilt from the ground up by remastering the original Crash Team Racing game to modernize all of the characters, karts, tracks, and arenas for today’s modern console HD graphics.

According to Thomas Wilson, Co-Studio Head at Beenox, “A lot of care and attention to detail went into developing this game for fans of the original Crash Team Racing 20 years ago, and new fans who expect a modern kart racing experience. Staying true to the original CTR games, while adding so much more content and creating a living, breathing world that just wasn’t possible on first generation platforms has been a true labor of love!”

For the first time in 20 years, you’ll have the ability to customize both your karts and your characters! The remastered experience gives you plenty of ways to mix and match kart bodies, wheels, paint jobs, and even stickers & decals!

Crash Team Racing fans will have the opportunity to customize their karts and characters in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled!
