Frontier Developments has revealed just how well its two most recent releases have sold.

Theme park title Planet Coaster has sold 1m copies to date, having initially launched in November 2016. The game sold 400,000 copies in its first month.

Meanwhile Elite Dangerous has shifted more than 2.75m since the space sim’s December 2014 release.

The former is a PC-exclusive, while the latter initially was released on PC, before being launched on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, formats that have no doubt helped sales.

"We are delighted with the continuing popularity of both Elite Dangerous and Planet Coaster,” said Frontier COO David Walsh.

“We will continue to release updates that even further enhance our players' experiences."

The news follows Chinese tech and entertainment giant Tencent purchasing a nine per cent stake in the Cambridge-based developer and publisher.
