In late July 2026, Capcom reported that 93 % of its game sales in the first quarter of FY2026 were delivered digitally, with physical disc sales falling to just 6.7 %. The data highlighted a strong move toward PC platforms and mirrored a broader industry trend, such as Sony’s plan to end PlayStation disc production by 2028.

A week later, Capcom reiterated that roughly 90 % of its units are now sold digitally and said the decline in physical discs would not materially affect its business. The company posted ¥70.41 billion in revenue and ¥41.05 billion in operating profit for the quarter, noting a rise in sales volume to 23.81 million units. It also emphasized growth in its CAPCOM ID service and the Capcom Town Store, and set a target of 65 million games sold for the fiscal year.

Together, the updates show Capcom’s continued transition to a predominantly digital distribution model and its confidence that the shrinking physical market will have limited impact on overall performance.
