Capcom in a recently posted Q&A for the third quarter of the 2025 fiscal year financial results revealed about 50 percent of its games sold were on PC with the expectation for that figure to keep growing.
"As of the third quarter, PC sales account for approximately 50% of total unit sales, and we expect this ratio to continue increasing," said Capcom when asked about its PC strategy and how Resident Evil Requiem leverages advanced visual technology.
"Accordingly, we will further strengthen our PC development framework. The technical expertise gained from addressing increasing program complexity and performance challenges in Monster Hunter Wilds will be applied to future title development."
Capcom when asked why catalog sales of the Resident Evil series performed well during the third quarter provided an outlook for the fourth quarter.
"We believe this performance reflects the effectiveness of our pricing measures for catalog titles alongside the launch of new titles, implemented in line with our medium- to long-term title roadmap," said Capcom.
"In particular, pricing measures for past Resident Evil titles aligned with growing anticipation for the latest installment, Resident Evil Requiem. In the fourth quarter, we plan to continue promotional activities and aim to further expand catalog sales."

If this means Capcom pivots more towards PC being their primary platform, I am all for it if it means better support for Handhelds.
Yeah atleast console gaming is getting less relevant for the industry, Only 40% is interested in making a game for PS and that's the biggest console platform.
Actually Switch 1 is still the biggest console in terms of release numbers.
PC gamers rarely have girlfriends
Clearly. The Xbox is basically dead and most Capcom games aren't on Switch 2. Playstation is pretty much carrying the console market on its back like Atlas right now.
Capcom is doing a decent job supporting the Switch 2, releasing 7 games in less than a year.
Nonsense. Switch 2 sales are amazing and already have a number of Capcom games on it despite not being out long. 6 months from now and all the Resident Evil games will be available on Switch 2.
Well it doesn't surprise me when Capcom gives some of, if not, the best Humble Bundles deals. ie....11 main RE games for like $30.
I buy mainly on console but when the deals so good on PC how can I not double dip??
Why have 2 versions of the same game.? That's mongotastic.
Because I can.
Fine by me.
See Sony see
