Capcom Reaches 93% Digital Sales With PC Now Majority Platform
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Capcom reports 93 percent of game sales digital in fiscal 2026, up from 90 percent last year, with PC reaching 54.5 percent as the majority platform. The company forecasts 95.5 percent digital next year. This drives record profits for the ninth straight year, boosted by PC growth in untapped markets as consoles plateau.

Capcom reported that 93 percent of its total game sales were digital in its latest fiscal year, with the company expecting that share to grow closer to an all-digital model.

According to its FY2026 financial report shared on May 13, the period covering March 2025 to March 2026 delivered new company records in all profit categories for the ninth consecutive year. New releases such as Resident Evil Requiem and continued sales from titles including Monster Hunter Wilds contributed to the results, alongside a substantial contribution from digital games and Steam.

The digital contents section of the report states that over the last 12 months, 93 percent of Capcom game sales were digital. This is an increase from 90 percent in 2024 and 2025, and from 75 percent in 2022.

Capcom has expanded its focus on PC gaming, with that platform rising to 54.5 percent of game sales in fiscal 2026. The figure stood at 33 percent in 2022. More than half of Capcom games sold are now on PC, and the company expects this share to increase further as consoles plateau and sales of dedicated gaming machines slow.

The report indicates Capcom predicts that by this time next year, 95.5 percent of its game sales will be digital. It views PC as a route into markets that are not yet tapped or are developing with large numbers of gamers rather than console-only players.

Physical games accounted for 7 percent of Capcom's total sales, representing more than 4 million copies sold globally. The company does not expect to eliminate physical releases in the immediate future even as the overall industry continues to shift.
