Capcom says it expects digital sales to account for around 95% of its game sales within the next year, according to recent financial disclosures. The company is already close to that figure, with digital downloads – particularly on PC – having come to dominate its revenue as physical retail continues to decline across the games industry.

Capcom's shift reflects a broader industry trend towards digital distribution, with PC gaming platforms such as Steam playing a major role in driving download-based purchases ahead of console digital storefronts. The near-total move away from physical media underlines how manufacturing, shipping and retail costs are becoming less central to how major publishers plan their business, even as some players and collectors continue to favour boxed copies.
