Game news This beloved Mario Kart competitor is coming to Xbox Game Pass! It's Christmas before time

The race, then the Crash!

While Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is already available on the Microsoft service, and while rumors predicted the arrival of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, it is ultimately another game featuring the marsupial and his whole clique which tumbles into the Game Pass. Originally released on PlayStation in 1999, Crash Team Racing returned after a long pit stop with a shiny body via a remake designed by Beenox released in 2019. Titled Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, the software originally developed by Naughty Dog offers the CTR experience inflated by additional content. All the characters, plots, power-ups and modes are obviously present. Beautiful, colorful, with more than 50 playable characters and around forty circuits, the title has gargantuan content in its engine which ensures great longevity, especially since it is possible in this version to personalize its kart.

Playable online and up to four locally, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled ticks all the boxes to provide everything you want from a game of the genre, namely fun in a box. The good news is that if you have never fallen for the software developed by Beenox and you have a Game Pass subscription, then you will be able to play it with your friends and family today. The other good news is that a Game Pass Ultimate subscription is not required to have access to it, since the title is released in the other less expensive Game Pass offers, namely the Game Pass Standard and the Game Pass Core .

The month of competition

Microsoft also released a list of games arriving in the coming days in the different Game Pass offers. Enough to see that Forza Motorsport arrives in the Game Pass Standard and therefore no longer requires Game Pass Ultimate and that Hauntii also arrives in the Game Pass Standard. They are accompanied by Carrion and Road 96 who celebrate their returns. Wildfrost, Overthrown and WRC will be available to Ultimate subscribers, like the highly anticipated Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle, scheduled for December 9.
