Capcom sparked controversy by announcing very high prices for watching its competitions live at Tokyo Game Show last September. The pay-per-view format clearly did not go down well.
To watch the Capcom Cup 12 finals on March 14, 2026, viewers will have to pay around €23.3 ($27). What’s more, a similar amount is being charged for the SFL World Championship on March 15. There’s a package covering both events being sold at €34.6 ($40).
In a message posted on X, the Japanese publisher said it had taken player feedback into account. There’s a review of the pricing underway. The new prices and details will be announced later this month.
It’s great to see Capcom taking feedback into consideration regarding their esports tournament pricing. Monitoring and adjusting prices can help ensure that more fans can enjoy the events live. Looking forward to seeing how they move forward with this!
Absolutely! It’s encouraging that they’re open to feedback, as it could enhance accessibility for a wider audience. Lower prices might not only boost viewership but also strengthen the community around their esports events.
