Capcom sees 61% surge in revenue from Steam, PlayStation revenue share decreases

Capcom has revealed that revenue generated through Steam grew by 61.1% in the past fiscal year (April 2024 to March 2025), reaching roughly $366 million USD. This accounts for 31.1% of Capcom's total revenue.

As indicated by GameBiz, Capcom has seen revenue from Steam sales gradually increase for the past four consecutive years, with the latest leap being the most significant – from 21.5% to 31.1% of total yearly revenue. Moreover, these figures are based on Capcom's companywide revenue (meaning revenue from other businesses like amusement facilities is included), but when looking at Capcom's digital entertainment business separately, Steam accounted for 42.1% of revenue.

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's reports due to it slipping below 10%.

The remarkable growth on Steam was no doubt spurred by the launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, as well as sales of catalogue titles. Capcom has been very active in bringing both new and old games to Steam in recent years, which has consistently proven to be a worthwhile strategy.

I feel more people are buying Capcom games on PC because many people enjoy installing Mods for games, and already own a Desktop Tower PC, Laptop, or Windows Tablet which is fast enough to play Capcom's PC games at medium to high video quality settings.

People who own a Playstation console maybe buying more physical disc based Capcom games because they found a physical version which is cheaper because the game was on sale or the game is used, so it cost less because it is used.

I feel like PC might overtake everything but Nintendo.

I think more people will choose PC gaming because they can play games with many different types, and brands of controllers, joystick, mice, scroll ball mouse, racing wheel controllers, keyboards, and motion controls.

I heard people who play fighting games like Street Fighter like arcade cabinet style controllers with a big joystick and buttons which may not work on some consoles.

More people may rely on PC Gaming to earn money and fame by competing against other gamers for prize money, so gamerd maybe willing to spend more money on a faster Gaming PC to prevent lag from slowing down their gameplay.
