Capcom have just shared that they’ve hit record profits for the eighth year in a row, and it feels almost unreal how they keep doing it. They saw gross profits of ¥98.8 billion—around $667 million—which is about a sixteen percent boost over last year. Net sales rose too, up to ¥169.6 billion (about $1.1 billion), an increase of more than eleven percent. Operating income climbed to ¥65.8 billion (roughly $444 million), rising fifteen point two percent. It’s a testament to their strategy—mixing fresh releases with strong support for older titles—even when the market sometimes seems to shift under their feet.
Monster Hunter Wilds’ Sales Surge
The real standout this time has been Monster Hunter Wilds, which sold a staggering 10.1 million copies since its launch in February. It outpaced every previous Capcom game, blowing past forecasts in mere weeks. And more than that, it reignited interest in the whole series, pushing total Monster Hunter sales beyond 100 million worldwide. Add to that the steady stream of DLC for Monster Hunter World and Rise, and you see how much those post-launch offerings can pad the bottom line—Capcom really know how to keep fans coming back.
Broad Success Across the Catalog
It wasn’t only Wilds shining this year. Across every title, Capcom shipped 51.87 million units, up from 46.8 million the year before. Resident Evil 4 Remake has now sold a solid 9.9 million copies, while Resident Evil Village added another 1.5 million this cycle. Street Fighter 6 and Devil May Cry 5 each crossed the million mark too, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 delivered about 1.08 million more sales. It’s clear that Capcom’s blend of new hits and beloved classics keeps momentum going, even if some games do better than others.

Looking to FY 2025/26
Peering ahead, Capcom seem pretty confident about next year. They’re forecasting net sales of ¥190 billion (about $1.28 billion) and operating income of ¥73 billion ($492 million) for the year ending March 2026. If they pull it off, that would make nine straight years of record profits—an almost unheard-of streak. Of course, nothing is guaranteed in this industry, but with a pipeline of big releases, ongoing updates, and smart digital offerings, Capcom appear set to ride this wave for now—though only time will show if they can truly keep it up.
