Are more Capcom games for the PC on the way? That’s likely, as COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto has told investors the platform is now a focus for the company. “From the viewpoint of promoting digital strategy, expansion of PC platform spread cannot be overlooked. The sales ratio of the PC versions in our main titles has been improving every year, and we will strive to further expand sales as an important platform.” Capcom called the PC “a huge opportunity” back in 2009, and things appear to be paying off based on recent hits such as Resident Evil 2.
The driving force behind this mindset is certainly Monster Hunter: World, which absolutely lit up the Steam charts last fall, leading Capcom to call it "a phenomenal success." That's not the sole factor, though. Resident Evil 2, Mega Man 11, Ominusha Warlords, Resident Evil 7 -- all major Capcom games that evidently did well on PC. We're already seeing some of this PC strategy in action. Devil May Cry 5 -- a headliner game by any metric -- releases next week, and the PC version will be available at launch.
