Capcom’s Pragmata surpasses 1M wishlists across platforms, alongside Steam demo plans, edition bonuses, and new details on its dual-character hacking combat.

Capcom’s long-in-the-making sci-fi shooter Pragmata has crossed a major pre-launch milestone: over one million wishlists across platforms. It’s a strong signal that the project’s long silence—and years of uncertainty—haven’t cooled audience interest. If anything, the renewed momentum suggests Pragmata is entering a more confident phase as Capcom ramps up communication ahead of release. 

What makes this update notable isn’t just the wishlist figure. The timing lines up with fresh moves around the game’s rollout, including talk of a Steam demo and more visibility for the different editions and their bonuses. For a title first revealed back in 2020 and then repeatedly pushed back, these beats land like a “we’re ready to show more” message—especially for PC players watching Steam closely.

Pragmata is set in a near-future world where the discovery of a resource called Lunam Ore triggers a breakthrough in manufacturing. The concept revolves around an advanced technique—Lunafilament—that enables materials to be reconfigured in unprecedented ways. It’s an idea that supports both the game’s visual identity and the broader tone Capcom has been hinting at: a futuristic setting with technology that feels powerful, risky, and game-changing. 



One of Pragmata’s most distinctive ideas is how it treats combat as a collaboration between two characters: Hugh and Diana. In battles, the game presents an interactive on-screen panel that lets players control a cursor while Diana performs hacking actions—used to disrupt enemy defenses and open them up for follow-up attacks. This “shoot + hack” structure could set Pragmata apart from more straightforward action shooters, especially if the hacking layer creates real tension and tactical decision-making under pressure. 

Wishlist numbers aren’t sales, but they’re one of the clearest public indicators of demand—particularly for a brand-new IP. Hitting a million suggests Pragmata has moved beyond curiosity into genuine anticipation, and it raises expectations that Capcom is planning a more confident push as the release window becomes clearer. 

For now, the key takeaway is simple: Pragmata is alive, it’s gaining traction, and Capcom is preparing the next steps—with demos, edition details, and more reveals likely to follow as the marketing cycle heats up.
