Devil May Cry 5 reaches 10 million copies sold

Capcom has announced a significant sales milestone for Devil May Cry 5, revealing that the game has sold over 10 million units worldwide since its 2019 release. The company has explicitly credited the recent success of the Devil May Cry animated series on Netflix as a contributing factor to this surge in sales.

Devil May Cry 5 brought back fan-favourites Nero and Dante and introduced the enigmatic V as they battled the Demon King Urizen. The 2020 Special Edition enhanced the experience by adding Vergil as a playable character. Regarded by many as one of the standout launch titles for the Xbox Series X, the game's continued momentum has been bolstered by its gameplay, story, action elements, and the enduring appeal of Vergil's addition. The recent celebration follows a notable increase in the game's player count on Steam in April 2025.

Capcom highlighted the impact of the Netflix animated series, which debuted in April 2025. Produced by Adi Shankar (known for Castlevania) and animated by South Korea's Studio Mir, the series garnered 5.3 million views and landed in Netflix's top ten lists. The narrative follows Dante as he confronts a demonic invasion led by the White Rabbit and engages in conflict with the soldier Mary. Fans now await news of a potential second season from Netflix.
