Overview

  • Devil May Cry 5 sold 1.782 million units in April–June 2025, making it Capcom’s top-selling title and pushing lifetime sales past 10.5 million.
  • Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition moved 495,000 units in the quarter, narrowly outselling Monster Hunter Wilds’ 477,000 copies, which Capcom labeled as weak sales.
  • Total game shipments reached 14.16 million units in Q1 FY2026, a 48.6% increase year-on-year driven predominantly by legacy catalog titles.
  • Net sales climbed 53.7% to ¥45,502 million and operating profit jumped 90.8% to ¥24,597 million on the strength of back-catalog performance.
  • Capcom attributes the revival in catalog demand to cross-media synergy, with the Netflix Devil May Cry anime boosting franchise engagement and sales.
