This accounts for 31.1% of Capcom\u2019s total revenue.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As indicated by <a href=\"https:\/\/gamebiz.jp\/news\/408210\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GameBiz<\/a>, Capcom has seen revenue from Steam sales gradually increase for the past four consecutive years, with the latest leap being the most significant \u2013 from 21.5% to 31.1% of total yearly revenue. Moreover, these figures are based on Capcom\u2019s companywide revenue (meaning revenue from other businesses like amusement facilities is included), but when looking at Capcom\u2019s digital entertainment business separately, Steam accounted for 42.1% of revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"472\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241119-40067-header.jpeg\" alt=\"Capcom sales strategy\" class=\"wp-image-40070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241119-40067-header.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241119-40067-header-380x199.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241119-40067-header-768x403.jpeg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, it seems the share of revenue generated through PlayStation (digital sales) has decreased. In the previous fiscal year, PlayStation accounted for 10.5% of total (companywide) revenue, while this year, the figure has been omitted from Capcom\u2019s reports due to it slipping below 10%.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remarkable growth on Steam was no doubt spurred by the launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/capcom-expects-next-years-profits-to-be-carried-by-past-releases-with-sales-of-new-games-declining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monster Hunter Wilds, as well as sales of catalogue titles<\/a>.
