The Devil May Cry franchise is a classic in gaming, however historically it has been a rather mild seller for publisher Capcom. That being said, the most recent entry in the series, Devil May Cry 5, is also by far its most successful – officially selling over 6 million copies.
Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Devil May Cry account said “#DevilMayCry 5 has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide! Thank you to all the SSStylish fans out there for your support!”
Devil May Cry 5 first released in March 2019, selling 2 million copies within the game’s first two weeks on the market – an impressive feat for the franchise. Since then, the title has continued to sell consistently, further boosted by the game’s Special Edition made for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
6 million units sold makes Devil May Cry 5 by far the best-selling entry in the franchise, with 2008’s Devil May Cry 4 being the second-best with just 3 million copies sold. That being said, DMC is far from Capcom’s most popular franchise, with the series in total selling around 26 million units – 100 million copies less than Resident Evil.
The Devil May Cry series has cemented itself as a video game classic, and while its quality wasn't always matched by its sales, Devil May Cry 5 seems to be the turning point for the franchise.
