- PC versions account for 15.6% of all Capcom games sold and this share is increasing.
- By investing in PC, the publisher can reach customers in more countries and better monetize old games. Last year, Capcom sold 353 titles on PC in 237 countries.

The publisher has been saying for some time that PC is becoming its most important hardware platform. The company's COO, Haruhiro Tsujimoto, recently stated that within two years, half of Capcom's games will be sold on PC.
Capcom's latest release is Monster Hunter: Rise - Sunbreak, which debuted today simultaneously on PC and Nintendo Switch. The game is very popular - over the past two weeks both the expansion and the base game were among the biggest bestsellers on Steam.
