Released in 2017 (was it really that long ago?!), Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has just hit an impressive sales milestone. The collection, which is available across PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC, has topped 20 million — and at least by our count, that makes it the single highest selling Crash Bandicoot release ever.
Now, we can't say that with absolute certainty because it's difficult to track how many copies the original PS1 games have sold over the last 30 years or so. However, we'd be very surprised if any of them have surpassed 20 million sales.
Of course, the N. Sane Trilogy is cheating a bit. As the name suggests, this is a compilation of the first three Crash Bandicoot games, and it obviously launched across a selection of incredibly popular platforms. Still, we're not sure many would argue against its success — it's a really nicely packaged revival.
For comparison's sake, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time hit 5 million copies earlier this year, having released in 2021. That's certainly not bad either, but we suppose it just goes to show the pulling power of nostalgia (and bundled trilogies).
