Capcom Posts Breakout Quarter as Pragmata Launch and Resident Evil Requiem Power Sales

The company says it is on track to meet its fiscal‑year targets as a successful new IP lifted launch sales with digital catalog promotions sustaining revenue momentum.

Overview

  • Capcom reported net sales of ¥70.41 billion and operating profit of ¥41.05 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking large year‑on‑year gains driven by game sales.
  • Total unit sales reached 23.81 million in the quarter, led by digital distribution and pricing promotions that generated a 21.26 million‑unit uplift in catalog sales.
  • New IP Pragmata sold just over 2.5 million copies since its April launch, giving Capcom a fresh franchise candidate and strong first‑quarter revenue from a non‑legacy title.
  • Resident Evil Requiem passed 8 million cumulative sales in the quarter, helping push the Resident Evil franchise to about 213 million lifetime sales and making the RE2 remake the series’ best‑selling game at roughly 19.75 million units.
  • Capcom left its FY2026 forecast unchanged and said it is on track to meet guidance, citing continued catalog monetization and a slate of upcoming releases and DLC as the expected drivers of sustained performance.
