According to Capcom’s\u00a0securities\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0for the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue generated through Valve Corporation (Steam) totaled 40.383 billion yen, or\u00a0approximately $252 million USD. That accounted for 20.7% of the company’s total revenue for the year, which\u00a0includes\u00a0income from all of Capcom’s businesses\u00a0(not only games, but\u00a0arcades,\u00a0amusement facilities,\u00a0etc.).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, revenue generated through Sony Interactive Entertainment (meaning primarily digital PlayStation sales) amounted to 20.741 billion yen (roughly $129 million USD), or 10.6% of Capcom’s total revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Steam generated nearly twice as much revenue as PlayStation during the fiscal year, the gap between the two has actually narrowed slightly compared with the previous year. In the fiscal year ended March 2025, Steam accounted for 31.1% of Capcom’s total revenue<\/a> (around $366 million USD), while PlayStation’s share fell below 10% and was therefore not disclosed separately in the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Steam’s high contribution is hardly surprising given that digital PC sales\u00a0accounted for<\/a>\u00a054.5% of Capcom’s game unit sales during the fiscal year.\u00a0In a recent interview with\u00a0Famitsu<\/a>, Capcom\u2019s president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said that shifting\u00a0to digital distribution as its\u00a0main focus\u00a0was one of\u00a0Capcom\u2019s most important breakthroughs.\u00a0With digital platforms like Steam allowing\u00a0games\u00a0to\u00a0continue\u00a0selling\u00a0for years following launch, accumulated revenue from catalogue titles has become one of Capcom\u2019s crucial sources of\u00a0profit, and\u00a0has\u00a0indirectly enabled Capcom to invest in rebooting previously dormant IPs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going forward, Capcom plans to further deepen its focus on PC, with \u201ccatalogue expansion\u201d and \u201cenhanced marketing\u201d for the platform highlighted as part of its mid- to long-term business strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
