## Key points

- Physical copies accounted for 7.6% of Capcom sales.
- Capcom forecasts digital sales will reach 95.4%.
- Strong digital sales of older games influence the figures.

## Summary

Capcom says physical copies made up just 7.6% of its video game sales in the first half of fiscal year 2026, with digital purchases accounting for the other 92.4%. The company expects the digital share to rise to 95.4% next quarter, underlining how central digital distribution has become to its business.

Capcom’s figures may be unusually high because sales of older catalogue games are particularly strong and tend to be digital, often helped by online discounts. The company reported its highest-ever first-half total and catalogue unit sales; in the previous quarter, Devil May Cry 5 outsold the new Onimusha: Way of the Sword, while Monster Hunter World outsold Monster Hunter Wilds. The article notes that Capcom’s new releases may have a stronger physical share.
