Jurassic World Evolution passes 1 million units sold
Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV; "Frontier"), a leading independent developer and publisher of video games, announces an update on sales of Jurassic World Evolution™ which launched in June 2018.
Digital sales of Jurassic World Evolution, Frontier's third game franchise, have been strong across all three platforms, (PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One), following its digital launch on 12th June 2018. In addition, initial physical disc sales on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One have also been encouraging since launch on 3rd July 2018. As a result of this strong initial sales performance on both digital and physical, including digital pre-order sales, cumulative sales have now passed 1 million units, just 5 weeks after the digital launch on 12th June 2018.
Both Elite Dangerous with the release of Beyond Chapter 2 and Planet Coaster with the release of The Vintage Pack continue to perform well, in line with expectations. Further expansions are planned for all three franchises in line with our strategy of ongoing support.
David Braben, Chief Executive, said:
"We are really pleased with Jurassic World Evolution and are delighted to have crossed the 1 million unit threshold so quickly. There is no doubt that initial sales have benefitted from the worldwide awareness created by the film release, but it's the quality of the game that's really important and I believe our team have done a terrific job in creating a game that a wide range of players are now enjoying around the world".
