Capcom has revealed during its latest financial results that digital products take up more than 93% of its overall game sales, a figure that the publisher expects to only increase over the next year.
The Japanese video game giant sold 1.6 million physical games in the three-month period spanning April — June 2026, which includes the arrival of Pragmata, which as previously reported has sold 2.5 million copies to date. In comparison, digital game sales took up 22.2 million units — a clear indication of how digital goods have greatly surpassed disc products in recent times.
Looking ahead, Capcom expects the share of digital games to rise to 95.4.% by the end of the current fiscal year, which ends in March 2027. However, it’s very important to note that PC games made up 60.4% of sales during this quarter, and obviously the physical market on PC is extremely minimal. Capcom said that 6.7% of its sales are physical, presumably all on console, meaning about 16.9% of its console game sales are from disc-based products.
Furthermore, Capcom counts the Nintendo Switch 2 game-key cards as digital sales as opposed to physical products, so that’s also a factor to consider in the figures above.
The topic of digital and physical games has obviously been doing the rounds a lot as of late, thanks to Sony’s shock decision to stop making game discs for PlayStation games in January 2028.
Capcom’s financial results also revealed that Resident Evil Requiem, which launched in February 2026, has moved over eight million units globally, while Resident Evil 2 Remake has now surpassed Resident Evil 5 as the best-selling entry in the franchise.
