93 Percent Of Capcom’s Game Sales Are Digital And The Company Expects That Number To Grow

Capcom reported that 93 percent of its total game sales were digital for the fiscal year from March 2025 to March 2026, a rise from 90 percent in the previous two years and 75 percent in 2022. The company has achieved nine consecutive years of record profits, driven by new titles and established franchises. Digital sales growth is largely attributed to an increase in PC gaming, with PC sales rising from 33 percent in 2022 to 54.5 percent in fiscal 2026. Capcom forecasts digital sales will reach 95.5 percent of total sales by next year. Despite the shift to digital, physical sales still accounted for seven percent of total sales, translating to over 4 million copies sold globally.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 left a gaping, $28 million hole in Paradox’s year-end financial report

Paradox Interactive's year-end financial report indicates a 23% increase in revenue compared to the same quarter last year, marking it as the company's "second-best quarter ever." However, operating profit decreased by 162%, resulting in an overall loss of 245.4 million Swedish kronor, primarily due to the poor performance of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, which led to a write-down of 355 million kronor. Without this write-down, Paradox would have reported a profit of around 110 million kronor, though this would still be less than the previous year's operating profit of 395.3 million kronor. Additionally, fluctuating foreign exchange rates negatively impacted the company's financial results, with the dollar depreciating by approximately 12% and the euro by 5-6%.

Monster Hunter Wilds is barely hanging onto Capcom’s top 10 current best sellers and officially lost to Monster Hunter Rise, which notably didn’t wait months for PC fixes

Performance issues are affecting many players of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC, which is the game's largest sales platform. Capcom reported that Monster Hunter Rise has surpassed Wilds in sales rankings, with Wilds dropping from 10 million to under 500,000 copies sold in three months, now at 477,000 copies, while Rise has sold 389,000. Wilds has received negative reviews on Steam, currently holding a "Mostly Negative" label with 48% positive ratings. Capcom is working on CPU and GPU optimizations to address these performance issues. Despite Wilds having a larger active player base on Steam, the sales figures show a decline, and if optimizations do not improve the situation, Wilds may face further challenges. The lead producer of Monster Hunter acknowledges the growing engagement of PC gamers with Japanese games.

After stumbling out of the gate with poor sales as a PS5 exclusive, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth director says it’s ‘doing very well on both PS5 and PC,’ while ‘a lot of the content is already playable’ in the upcoming third game

Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, stated that the game has been performing well on both PS5 and PC, despite previous underwhelming sales figures reported by Square Enix. The internal report from May 2024 indicated that FFVII Rebirth is set to launch on PC in January 2025, following its console release. Square Enix has faced challenges with timed console exclusivity and acknowledged past missteps, such as the delayed PC release of FF7 Remake. The company plans to pursue a new strategy to engage the PC gaming community, potentially launching the next installment, tentatively titled Final Fantasy 7: Revengeance, simultaneously on PC and PS5 or PS6.

Ubisoft’s annual financial report includes claim that monetizing games with microtransactions ‘makes the player experience more fun’

Ubisoft's annual financial report, filed on June 19, emphasizes post-purchase monetization in its games and outlines the company's commitment to monetization policies that respect player experience. The report states that the "golden rule" for premium games is to allow players to enjoy the full experience without additional costs, while also claiming that monetization options enhance the gaming experience through personalization and progress acceleration. There is a notable distinction between microtransactions in free-to-play games and those in premium titles, with gamers expecting substantial content rather than superficial enhancements after already investing upfront. Ubisoft's attempt to distance itself from the "pay to win" model is met with skepticism, as many view microtransactions as a necessary evil rather than enjoyable features.
