Crunchyroll reached a milestone of 15 million paid subscribers this summer, solidifying its position as a dominant force in global anime distribution. The Sony-owned platform has built a content library exceeding 25,000 hours of programming, featuring 2,000 titles and 50,000 episodes.
The company is aggressively expanding its reach beyond core anime fans through partnerships with major streaming platforms. Its channel is now available on Amazon Prime Video in 14 new territories including Germany, France, and Australia, adding to existing markets like the US and UK.
In a retail push, Crunchyroll opened dedicated fan shops in 2,400 Walmart stores across the United States. The company also completed integration of Right Stuf, an e-commerce acquisition from 2022, bringing its merchandise catalog to over 30,000 items.
The platform broadened its gaming portfolio by releasing “One Punch Man: World” and expanding its premium Crunchyroll Game Vault to 35 titles. Notable additions include “STEINS;GATE” and “PSYCHO-PASS” from MAGES.
The service now offers dubbed content in 12 languages, recently adding Tamil and Telugu for the Indian market, while expanding its subtitle options to 16 languages with the addition of Indonesian.
