Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy Surpasses 20 Million Units Sold Worldwide Crash Bandicoot, one of the most iconic platforming franchises in video game history, continues to mark its legacy with impressive sales figures.

The official Crash Bandicoot X (formerly Twitter) account has revealed that Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy has now surpassed 20 million units sold globally.

Originally released for the PlayStation 4 in June 2017, the trilogy has expanded across multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC, earning widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike. The N-Sane Trilogy, developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision, is a complete remaster of the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy—a seminal collection that defined 1990s platform gaming on the PlayStation.

Since its debut, the remastered compilation has attracted both nostalgic returning players and new audiences, thanks to improved visuals, refined mechanics, and the faithful preservation of the original trilogy's core gameplay. A spokesperson from the Crash Bandicoot social team expressed gratitude to the global player community, emphasizing the brand’s lasting impact.

In their official announcement, the team highlighted the significance of reaching such a remarkable sales milestone for a classic platforming series, and thanked players for their loyalty and enthusiasm over the years. After its initial launch window on PlayStation 4, Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy quickly made its way to additional platforms.

Its release on the Nintendo Switch in June 2018 brought the series to handheld audiences, catalyzing further growth in its user base.

The title’s broad platform availability and positive critical reception—praising its blend of challenging gameplay and visual updates—were instrumental in pushing it past the 20 million mark. The franchise’s future direction is particularly noteworthy following Xbox’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, the parent company behind Crash Bandicoot.

With this new era of ownership, industry observers are keenly watching for announcements regarding fresh adventures for the iconic marsupial.

For now, the staggering success of N-Sane Trilogy underscores the enduring appeal of classic platformers and their capacity to find new life in the modern gaming landscape. Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy is currently available across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC, and remains a must-play entry for fans of platforming games and gaming history alike.
