The other standout figure is digital: 92.4% of the games Capcom sold over the period were digital versions. PC alone accounts for 57.1% of sales, ahead of digital console versions (35.3%). Boxed copies now make up just 7.6%.
One detail matters: Capcom counts Switch 2 game-key cards as digital sales. These cards are sold in a box but only contain a download key, so some in-store purchases end up counted as digital.
What about you: do you still buy boxed games, or have you gone all-digital?
