Capcom posts record first-half unit sales as digital reaches 92% of the total

Capcom's latest financial report shows the publisher selling more games than it ever has in the first half of a fiscal year, and almost all of those sales were digital. New 2026 releases are doing well, but older games are still carrying a lot of the weight.

The numbers come from Capcom's second-quarter results, which several outlets picked through today.

A record first half

IGN reports that Capcom is celebrating its highest software unit sales for the first half of a fiscal year in the company's 47-year history. The games leading the way were not new ones: Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 7 Biohazard were named as the top performers.

Push Square makes the same point from a different angle. It says Capcom's legacy titles continue to sell strongly while its new releases are performing well too.

How the new games are doing

According to Nintendo Life, which covered the report as Capcom's Q2 FY2026 results, three of this year's releases stood out:

Game	Sales figure
Onimusha: Way of the Sword	1.78 million copies
Resident Evil Requiem	8.51 million lifetime, after another 450,000 this quarter
Pragmata	2.73 million lifetime, after another 229,000 this quarter

Onimusha: Way of the Sword was the big mover this quarter, and Nintendo Life describes the 1.78 million as its first-month total. Push Square puts the same figure at "almost two months" on the market, so the two outlets frame the timing a little differently. The unit count itself matches.

Note that IGN labels the same period as the first half of the 2027 fiscal year, while Nintendo Life and Push Square call it fiscal year 2026. The sales figures reported are consistent across outlets either way.

Digital takes almost everything

The report also gives a clear picture of how people buy Capcom games. Push Square says 7.6% of Capcom's video game sales currently come from physical copies, and that the share is expected to fall further. Put the other way, 92.4% of sales were digital, a figure that combines PC and console downloads.

Push Square's headline says Capcom is planning for 95% digital sales. IGN also describes the overwhelming majority of the record sales as digital purchases.

What to watch

The outlets above don't report any specific changes to how Capcom's games will be sold. What the figures do show is a publisher in a strong position: Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata and Onimusha are adding sales, and older hits are still selling alongside them.
