However, operating income has increased thanks to the many downloads of older titles such as Nier: Automata, and the success of the company’s mobile games. As for their MMORPGS, Square Enix reported strong performance of both Dragon Quest X and Final Fantasy XIV. 

Overall, the company has had great results during this period with a 66.9% increase in operating profit as compared to the previous year.
