Capcom’s Q1 2026 fiscal report indicates that 93.3% of game sales were digital and 6.7% were from physical media. Digital sales were split with 60.4% occurring on PC platforms and 32.9% on consoles, according to the report. The Resident Evil franchise accounted for a large share of the digital sales, contributing to its rise as the third highest‑selling game series in Japan, behind Pokemon and Mario. Resident Evil 2 has surpassed Resident Evil 5 as the series’ best‑selling title, ending the 15‑year dominance of RE 5. Capcom stated in a shareholder Q&A that it will continue manufacturing physical discs, noting a significant number of players still demand them. Online discussions have included criticism of the shift to digital, with some users announcing plans for a PlayStation blackout, though no official policy changes have been announced. The company has not indicated any intention to discontinue physical disc production despite the decline in physical sales. These figures illustrate a broader industry trend toward digital distribution and suggest ongoing uncertainty about the role of physical media.
