Square Enix reported on November 11, 2026 that net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2026 hit ¥163.2 billion, up 21.9% from a year earlier. Operating income rose 42.2% to ¥38.8 billion, and profit attributable to shareholders climbed 184.2% to ¥28.6 billion.
Games did the heavy lifting. Square Enix’s Digital Entertainment segment, which covers console, PC, online and mobile games, booked net sales of ¥97.7 billion, up 33.7%, and operating income of ¥32.9 billion, up 63.5%. Square Enix credits Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Windows, along with new releases such as The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales and stronger sales of older catalog titles, for that jump. The MMO segment, which covers long-running online games such as Final Fantasy XIV, also grew after the latest expansion was announced, and that expansion now launches February 23, 2027.
Guidance moved up with the numbers. Net sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 are now forecast at ¥310 billion instead of ¥298 billion, and operating income at ¥59 billion instead of ¥49 billion, a 20.4% increase on the forecast the company set on May 14, 2026. Dividends stay at ¥18 interim and ¥25 per share at year-end.
The release does not break out unit sales for individual titles, so Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s own numbers stay folded into the segment total. Square Enix puts Final Fantasy series sales at more than 215 million units worldwide.
