Square Enix has published its financial results for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. The company reported significant growth in revenue and profitability, largely driven by the strong performance of its gaming business.
During the reporting period, net sales increased by 21.9% to ¥163.2 billion. Operating income rose by 42.2% to ¥38.8 billion, while net profit surged by 184.2% to ¥28.6 billion, nearly tripling compared to the same period last year.
The main driver of this growth was the Digital Entertainment division, which oversees the company's video game business. Its net sales increased by 33.7%, while operating income grew by 63.5%. These results were largely supported by the June 2026 releases of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, and continued sales of previously released titles.
Square Enix's MMO business also delivered positive results. Player activity in Final Fantasy XIV increased following the announcement of its upcoming expansion, contributing to higher sales and operating income. Meanwhile, the mobile and browser game segment benefited from Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest Smash/Grow.
As part of its updated business strategy, Square Enix plans to expand catalog sales, establish a development structure that allows for more regular releases, reboot existing franchises, and develop new intellectual properties.
The company's upcoming major releases include:
Following its strong financial performance, Square Enix has also revised its full-year forecast. The company now expects net sales of ¥310 billion and net profit of ¥37 billion by the end of the fiscal year.
