Crossy Road in-game ad revenue reaches $1m

The Guardian reports that, according to Unity, Hipster Whale’s title has made in excess of $1m from in-game ads alone since its launch on iOS in November 2014.

And that figure doesn’t even factor in the cash it has made from purchases of the in-game currency used to acquire new characters.
