That's a lot of dinos... Jurassic World Evolution now sits at one million copies sold. Life, uh, finds a way? The park-building sim built on the bones of Frontier's excellent simulation engine for Planet Coaster, has been live for just over a month. The success of the new Jurassic Park movie, combined with the idea of being your own John Hammond proved to be a strong pull for gamers on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 it seems.

From VentureBeat:

"There is no doubt that initial sales have benefited from the worldwide awareness created by the film release, but it’s the quality of the game that’s really important,” said Frontier chief executive officer David Braben.
