Capcom, widely known as one of the most prominent developers of third-party console games dating as far back as the NES, appears poised to shift its focus. The company has noticed its ever-growing PC gaming audience and global sales numbers, and is planning on making the PC its “main platform.”
In an interview with the Tokyo-based newspaper Nikkei, Capcom’s chief operating officer Haruhiro Tsujimoto said the company aims to increase its PC software sales to the point where the platform will make up half of its global sales by the end of 2022.
This pivot toward PC comes off of the increased digital sales Capcom games have experienced on the platform, as well as a rise in PC gaming overall in Japan during the pandemic, according to Video Games Chronicle.
