The hits just keep on coming. But in a good way.

It’s been exciting to watch Capcom embrace the PC platform over the last year, and it’s likely played a part in the company's recent success. Capcom posted its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year that ended March 31, and its three biggest titles all played a part in driving record results.

The big titles for Capcom’s last fiscal year were, of course, Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, and Monster Hunter: World. The amount of PC sales per game has been on an upwards curve—back in February, Capcom COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said: "The percentage of sales for the PC versions of our titles has been increasing each year". For Monster Hunter: World specifically, Capcom's financial results state "the Steam version for PC also performed solidly, boosting profits".

The outlook section of the financial report includes “multi-platform development” among the company’s strengths. Capcom’s proprietary game engines, including the RE Engine used by Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5, allowing for simultaneous development on multiple platforms—including PC—which in turn “has contributed to increasing sales and improving profitability.”
