Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy’s debut in the UK was so strong that, not only did it become the second biggest launch of the year so far, but it also topped the June 2017 boxed game chart – despite being on sale for just two days.
Additionally, the N. Sane Trilogy more than doubled the sales of Tekken 7, which finished second on the June chart.
