Square Enix says digital purchases accounted for 90% of its game sales, underlining the industry’s continued shift away from boxed copies ahead of the next Final Fantasy VII remake instalment, Revelation. The figure is notable, but the article stresses that it has an especially significant limitation and should not be treated as a direct comparison with similarly reported figures from Capcom or Sony.

The percentage reflects Square Enix’s reported game-sales mix rather than every part of its wider games business, so it does not necessarily show that 90% of all its gaming revenue is digital. Physical releases remain relevant, particularly for collectors and certain markets, but the data suggests digital distribution is now Square Enix’s dominant sales channel.
