As part of its Q2 2022 earnings results, Capcom has refreshed the sales figures for major franchises like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter--all of which saw a healthy uptick in combined physical and digital unit sales.

According to the figures, Capcom sold a total of 9.6 million games during the Q2 period, and these top game series made up basically all of the game sales.

Right now the figures see Resident Evil at 131 million copies sold to date (+4 million), Monster Hunter at 88 million copies sold (+4 million) with Monster Hunter Rise and Sunbreak both achieving great sales, Street Fighter at 49 million sales 1 million), Mega Man staying at 38 million, and Devil May Cry rising to 27 million (+1 million).

Other sales updates include Resident Evil 2 Remake achieving 10 million units sold, and Monster Hunter Rise hitting 11 million with Sunbreak achieving 4.4 million sales.

Another interesting tidbit from Capcom's Q2 period is that PC made up 50% of game sales during the period. Digital game sales were higher than they've ever been before at a whopping 95%, whereas physical game sales only made up 5%.

Capcom attributes this to strong growth in catalog game sales as well as discounts applied during the quarter.
