Saudi Arabia now owns just over 10% of Capcom, following a new acquisition of 5.03% of the company by the Electronic Gaming Development Company (EGDC), a national investment group tied to the MiSK Foundation. This comes in addition to the earlier stake purchased by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), bringing the total ownership to more than 10%.
According to financial disclosures reported by Eurogamer and other outlets, EGDC purchased 26.78 million shares, citing “pure investment” as its motive. The move continues Saudi Arabia’s aggressive expansion into the global gaming industry, where it already holds major stakes in companies like SNK, Nintendo, EA, and Take‑Two.
Capcom’s recent success — including record‑breaking sales for Resident Evil Requiem — has made the publisher an attractive target for investors. While Capcom remains independent, the growing foreign ownership has sparked discussion about long‑term influence and industry impact.
