Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata help Capcom to a ninth consecutive year of record profits
Capcom has reported record profits for the ninth consecutive year in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, driven by strong performance from Resident Evil Requiem and its broader game catalogue. The publisher’s digital contents segment saw sales increase 15.2% year-on-year to ¥144.2 billion ($914 million), with the company achieving record unit sales of 59.07 million games—up from 51.87 million the previous year.
