Between April and September 2023, Capcom recorded revenue up 52%, operating profit up 54% and net profit up 57%, for impressive amounts that you can admire in the table below. below. Capcom sold 22.6 million games during the half-year, compared to 21.3 million in the same half-year a year earlier. The period notably benefited from the launch of Street Fighter 6, which had 2.47 million sales as of September 30 (compared to 2 million at the beginning of July) but also from Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection which had totaled 1.42 million sales since April. Released in March, the popular Resident Evil 4 is not to be outdone and reached 5.45 million sales. In addition to the release of the Separate Ways expansion on September 21, the remake will also be entitled to an update that PS VR2 owners are impatiently awaiting.
The figures are a little less impressive for Exoprimal, a new license which has exceeded “one million players”, which for a game available in the Xbox Game Pass subscription is not particularly remarkable, especially since Capcom had already announced the million in question on July 25 and it was in a timid atmosphere to say the least that season 2 of the game began on October 18. Good news, however, for Monster Hunter Now, which has exceeded 10 million downloads and has established itself well in the profitability rankings of mobile games. Having been looking for a sustainable source of revenue on mobile for ages, Capcom can only rejoice, just like Niantic, which has depended on Pokémon GO for far too long.
