Capcom Celebrates Record Sales in First Half of 2027 Fiscal Year, With Overwhelming Majority Being Digital Purchases
Capcom is celebrating its highest software unit sales for the first half of a fiscal year in the company’s 47-year history, with games like Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2, and RE7 Biohazard leading the fray.
Capcom has announced its most successful first half of a fiscal year in its 47-year history, with digital purchases accounting for the overwhelming majority of sales. The company's flagship titles such as Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 7 have led the charts, bolstered by the critical acclaim of recent releases like Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
These old games are continuing to dominate the sales, with Monster Hunter World leading at 30.83 million units sold, up 1.17 million from the previous quarter. Resident Evil 2 Remake holds second place at 20.38 million units sold, a 2.06 million increase, and Resident Evil 7 occupies third place at 18.87 million units sold, a 1.47 million increase.
Capcom's financial report reveals that 92.4% of their total sales for the period were digital, with 57.1% from PC and 35.3% from consoles, indicating a stark shift from physical sales. This surge in digital sales comes after the success of Capcom's film adaptations, including the most profitable Resident Evil movie in the series' history and the box-office hit Street Fighter.
