Capcom is Seeing Increased Sales On Steam - Let's Hope This Makes More Console Devs Follow Suit

Immersed Gamer writes: "According to gamebiz Japan, it appears that the proactive approach to PC gaming of Capcom has been paying off, as the company has seen a sharp increase in sales made via Steam.

Capcom’s total revenue made by steam sales during its most recent fiscal year, which concluded in March 2022, was 17.2 billion yen (about $126 million), up 62.5 percent from the previous year. This accounted for 15.6 percent of the company’s overall sales.

Hope Square Enix is taking notes. You can indeed make money in other ways than selling “story-focused” NFTs and keeping players from playing your products thanks to terrible exclusivity deals and puzzling pricing of rereleased products".

All on Steam.

They should ship crowns with orders like this one. Enjoy some of the most solid games money can buy.

metabolicfrolic688d ago

If you don't already own it, I highly suggest Resident Evil 7 and literally any of the Mega Man Collections/Mega Man 11.

smashman98688d ago

I do indeed. I actually own all these games on PlayStation. And a few of them I also own on switch. But I’ve been gaming more and more on PC and with my steam deck coming soon let’s just say my steam library had some glaring admissions.

smashman98688d ago

Also who the hell disagreed with you?

GoodGuy09689d ago

Also offer good pc graphical options and do a good job at pc optimizations.

franwex688d ago

I’m so glad Capcom turned around and started to focus on making good quality, complete games.

It’s like: yeah, if you put a good product-we will buy it!

Eonjay688d ago

Stop hating on Square. Two of my most anticipated games this year are Star Ocean and Forspoken. Both are coming to PC as well. Square has a shit tone of games on PC. You can write an article without needing to have someone to hate on.

Crossplay Will Be In College Football 25 But Not In Online Dynasty Mode

EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga22h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot21h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B20h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga19h ago

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb15h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid22h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman22h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Come on State of Play already!!!

That's hilarious because he did and said the same thing with 2K Marin who developed Bioshock 2

They've been closed since 2013 but not officially acknowledged

He just doesn't want the backlash so pretends there's no issue.
