You can’t put a good devil down, as Devil May Cry 5 demonstrates in Capcom’s interim report for the fiscal year ending March 2026 (April 1 to September 30, 2025). Thanks to discounts that coincided with the April release of the Netflix animated series, the game sold 1,782,000 units in the first quarter, followed by 352,000 units sold in the second quarter.
Capcom’s total software sales for the period reached 23,852,000 units (a 19.1% year-on-year increase), out of which 22,854,000 were catalogue sales (a 20.6% year-on-year increase). Both figures marked record highs for the company, as pointed out by GameBiz.
Aside from Devil May Cry 5, sales of Resident Evil Village, the Resident Evil 4 remake, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard have also shot up as players brush up on the lore before Resident Evil Requiem’s release on February 27, 2026. Street Fighter 6 rounds out the top five best-selling titles, with events such as Capcom Cup 11 and Street Fighter League Pro-JP 2025 heightening interest in the long-running fighting game franchise.
On the flip side, Monster Hunter Wilds barely made it into the top ten, with 10,745,000 lifetime units sold. It is currently outperformed by Monster Hunter Rise, which, despite being an older game, has a lifetime count of 17,819,000 units sold and continues to do quite well, no doubt thanks to generous discounts.
Capcom also gave an update on the sales performances of its franchises. Resident Evil continues to be the most lucrative IP, followed by Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Mega Man, and Devil May Cry. Perhaps given these new financial reports, the company might want to look into making a new Mega Man or Devil May Cry game sometime soon, even without the latter’s longtime director.
