With the Steam platform as its main growth engine, Capcom is experiencing a historic performance explosion. According to estimates from data analysis company Alinea, Capcom's total software revenue on the Steam platform has been approximately US$389 million from 2026 to the present, and its net income has been approximately US$309 million. Among them, the release of the new IP "Consciousness Existence" has become one of the most eye-catching footnotes this year.
“Resident Evil: Requiem” is Capcom’s absolute mainstay so far this year, accounting for 45% of its total Steam revenue in 2026 (approximately US$174 million). The game has become the sales champion across the three major platforms of Steam, PlayStation and Xbox, with sales exceeding 3 million copies on the Steam platform alone. At the same time, Capcom's old game library also contributes significantly - as much as 29% (approximately US$113 million) of revenue comes from old games released for more than one year, achieving stable long-tail revenue through cyclical discount strategies.
The new IP "Consciousness Existence", which was released for US$60 on April 17, sold more than 1 million copies within two days of its launch. For the current 3A market, which is generally allergic to creative risks, this achievement is amazing. According to Alinea’s estimates, “Consciousness Existence” has sold approximately 574,000 copies on Steam, with total revenue approaching US$30 million. Its performance has exceeded that of the PS5 and Xbox platforms combined.
Data shows that the early buyers of "Existence of Knowledge" are highly concentrated among Capcom's loyal player groups: 58.4% of players on the PlayStation platform have also played "Requiem for Resident Evil: Requiem", and 42.9% on the Steam platform. About 42% of players also invested a lot of time in last year's "Monster Hunter: Wilderness". In terms of regional distribution, US users account for 30% of the PS5 platform and Japan accounts for 17%; while on the Steam platform, Chinese users account for as high as 23%, demonstrating the effectiveness of Capcom's globalization strategy.
Today, Capcom's logo itself has become a quality certification and marketing tool.
