Capcom Posts Record First Half on Back Catalogue and Digital Sales

The company kept its full‑year forecast unchanged despite omitting an updated Monster Hunter Wilds figure ahead of planned Switch 2 ports and the Ascendance expansion.

Overview

  • Capcom’s half‑year results for the six months ended September 30, 2026 show a record first half with 36.86 million game units sold driven largely by older titles.
  • Catalogue games accounted for 32.18 million units, or 87.3% of sales, and 94.2% of all sales were digital with 57.1% coming from PC storefronts.
  • Capcom disclosed lifetime totals for its 2026 releases: Resident Evil Requiem 8.51 million, Pragmata 2.73 million, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword 1.78 million.
  • The report did not provide a fresh sales update for Monster Hunter Wilds, a notable omission given earlier launch figures and the game’s planned Switch 2 release and Ascendance expansion.
  • Capcom kept full‑year guidance unchanged and cited strong franchise performance—Resident Evil (218M), Monster Hunter (132M), Street Fighter (60M)—underscoring a strategy that leans on digital distribution, discounts, and platform rollouts to sustain revenue.
