Square Enix reported fiscal year 2026 results ending March 31, 2026, showing a 34.9% surge in operating income to ¥54.7 billion ($344.9 million) despite an 8.3% decline in net sales to ¥297.6 billion. Growth was driven by strong HD Game title sales including Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles and Dragon Quest remakes, plus cost optimisation efforts. MMO and mobile/browser game revenues fell 26–27%, while Smart Devices operating income jumped 64% due to payment diversification and cost cuts. The company restructured from a division model to a Creative Studio structure, consolidated overseas operations into Japan, and projects annual savings of over ¥3 billion from FY2027. Looking ahead, Square Enix forecasts flat net sales but a 10.5% dip in operating income for FY27.
