Where it stands
As of July 28, 2026, Capcom has disclosed an 81% increase in ordinary profit to $252.5 million for the first quarter, fueled by the commercial performance of its flagship titles. Resident Evil Requiem has reached 8 million units sold, a milestone that GamesIndustry.biz notes has officially overtaken Resident Evil 5 to become the best-selling entry in the series history. Simultaneously, Pragmata has recorded 2.5 million sales.
Coverage from outlets including Video Games Chronicle, Kotaku, and IGN centers on the momentum generated by these core releases. Beyond the success of new titles, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter have achieved record high sales, contributing significantly to the company's fiscal gains. The reports categorize this period as a continuation of consistent financial growth for the publisher.
The current financial outlook is complicated by the shifting competitive landscape for top-tier game franchises. While these figures establish record-breaking performance, coverage does not yet specify how the company plans to sustain this growth trajectory for the remainder of the fiscal year or whether these sales volumes will remain consistent in subsequent quarters.
