Written with artificial intelligence.
Capcom has achieved its highest software unit sales for the first half of a fiscal year, driven by popular titles such as Monster Hunter World and Resident Evil 2. Digital purchases accounted for 92.4% of these sales, marking a significant trend in consumer behavior.
Record Sales Achievement
Capcom has announced that it reached its highest software unit sales for the first half of its fiscal year in 47 years, with standout performances from games like Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 7: BioHazard. This success underscores the company's strong market presence, especially following a successful 2026.
Popular Titles Drive Sales
While Capcom launched several critically acclaimed titles in 2026, including Resident Evil Requiem and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the majority of its profits this fiscal year stemmed from older games. Specifically, Monster Hunter World leads with 30.83 million units sold, followed by Resident Evil 2 Remake at 20.38 million, and Resident Evil 7: BioHazard, also at 20.38 million. Notably, Resident Evil 2 Remake recently surpassed Resident Evil 5 as the franchise's best-selling game.
Digital Sales Dominance
In Capcom's financial report, it was revealed that 92.4% of total sales were digital, with 57.1% from PC and 35.3% from consoles. This marks a slight decrease from the previous quarter's digital sales figures, which stood at 93.3%. Physical sales accounted for only 7.6% of total units sold, highlighting a significant shift toward digital purchases in the gaming industry.
Future Prospects
Capcom's recent film adaptations have also contributed to its success, with the Resident Evil movie becoming the most profitable in the franchise's history. Following the positive performance of Pragmata, there are indications that a sequel may be in the works, alongside Onimusha achieving one million sales on its first day. As Capcom continues to build on this momentum, the upcoming Game Awards will be closely watched by fans and industry observers alike.
