Resident Evil Requiem just released, and I highly recommend you read our review here on Windows Central. Today, though, we are looking at sales, because PC really is driving the Capcom renaissance.
Capcom recently confirmed in its latest financial results that 50% of all game sales now come from PC. That is a significant milestone, and it highlights just how important the platform has become for the publisher.
Despite rising costs across the industry, and recent reports suggesting affordable gaming PCs could become far rarer by 2028 due to increasing RAM and storage prices, PC gaming is not slowing down for Capcom.
For Capcom, business on PC is booming. In its latest financial report from the end of January 2026, it confirmed that 50% of total game sales now come from PC, and it expects that ratio to continue growing.
Resident Evil Requiem alone is already the biggest Resident Evil launch on Steam, peaking at 344,000 concurrent users. That comfortably surpasses Resident Evil 4 Remake, which peaked at 168,000 concurrent users on Steam.
There is currently no equivalent public data for Resident Evil Requiem on Xbox or consoles beyond physical UK sales charts. In the UK, just 6% of physical sales were on Xbox, although physical editions are increasingly rare in stores in the UK, especially compared to digital purchases.
There were also a few other interesting tidbits in Capcom’s report. It linked the Devil May Cry anime to a boost in franchise sales, and said Street Fighter 6 has benefited from esports growth.
Capcom is also targeting 54 million total units for the fiscal year across new and catalog titles combined. That is a rather lofty goal though.
For Monster Hunter fans, Wilds is still part of its long term strategy. Capcom said it is aiming to maximize sales and profitability over roughly five years through updates, improvements, and pricing measures.
For now though, that’s all the report reveals, Capcom intends to continue to invest in PC as they see it as a strong place for growth, despite current market conditions.
