Capcom Q1 results show record sales for major franchises
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Capcom's Q1 2026 financial report has confirmed a strong quarter for the publisher, with healthy sales for two newly released titles alongside record lifetime totals for its flagship franchises. Pragmata, launched in April, has sold over 2.5 million copies, a performance Capcom attributes to "robust promotional activities", while Resident Evil Requiem, out since February, has now passed 8 million units sold worldwide. Together with milestone figures for its older series, the results point to a sustained run of commercial success spanning both new releases and long-established franchises.
The report also detailed lifetime sales milestones for Capcom's biggest series: Street Fighter has surpassed 60 million units, Monster Hunter has reached 131 million, and Resident Evil remains the company's best-performing franchise with more than 213 million units sold globally. The figures follow a separate report that the Resident Evil 4 remake is the best-selling remake of the current console generation, and arrive as Capcom prepares to release its new Onimusha title.
- Pragmata tops 2.5m sales since its April launch

Capcom, the Japanese company behind long-running video game series such as Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter, has published its financial results for the first quarter of its 2026 fiscal year. These reports are issued periodically and give a breakdown of how well its games have sold, both games released recently and older titles that continue to sell over many years.
The results cover two new releases, Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem, as well as updated lifetime sales figures for Capcom's biggest franchises. Video game publishers routinely disclose these numbers to investors, and they are widely watched in the industry as an indicator of which games and series are performing well commercially.
Capcom has built much of its recent success on reviving and expanding established franchises while also investing in new titles, and it has further releases, including a new entry in the Onimusha series, still to come. The figures matter because they help explain the company's financial health and its strategy of balancing new games with proven, long-running series.
