Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Pre-Order Guide: Release Date, Bonuses, Nitros Oxide Edition

It's safe to say Activision considered the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remaster a success. But while fans enjoyed reliving their memories of the 32-bit platformers, many also wanted a similarly remade version of the 1999 kart racer starring every gamer's favorite bandicoot. Their wishes have been granted: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is slated to release June 21 for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

This version of the game is rebuilt from the asphalt up and includes everything that came in the original game, plus new karts and tracks. Also, the whole thing has modern graphics, online play, and new character- and kart-customization options.

If you're ready to lock down a copy of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled for yourself, you probably want to know about the pre-order bonuses, different editions, where it's available, and how much it costs. Let's dive into the specifics.
