Capcom has shared its sales for the first half of FY25, and it appears that the big winner here was the PC platform. According to the official graph, Capcom has sold more units on PC than on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles.
To be more precise, Capcom has sold 20,025M units so far this fiscal year. From those sales, 54% of them were on PC, whereas 40% were on consoles. Again, the console percentage includes all main three consoles.
Compared to the previous fiscal year, PC digital sales have grown from 48% to 54%. This right here shows how profitable the PC platform actually is for the Japanese company.
A look at the SteamDB graphs can give us an insight as to why Capcom is doing so well on PC. Resident Evil 4 Remake was a huge success, as was Dragon’s Dogma 2. Despite its performance issues, DD2 had 228K concurrent players at launch. That’s huge.
Things will most likely be even better for Capcom in 2025. We know that Monster Hunter is huge on PC/Steam. And, in February 2025, the team will release Monster Hunter Wilds. Monster Hunter World had a peak of 334K concurrent players. So, I won’t be surprised if Monster Hunter Wilds hits half a million concurrent players.
This may also explain why Capcom tried to somehow fix the performance issues on PC. It could also explain why it added support for DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The more money Capcom makes from the PC, the more it will support it. It’s as simple as that.
The Open Beta phase for MHW will begin on October 31st. And, like a lot of PC gamers, we can’t wait to get our hands on it.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
