The best-selling game of 2025 outsold by Devil May Cry games from decades ago
Capcom's latest financial report has shown a severe drop in sales for the supposed biggest game of the year, as Devil May Cry and Resident Evil sales spike. Monster Hunter Wilds is the best-selling game of the year so far, with over 10 million sales worldwide, but its success has sharply declined over the last financial quarter. While it's normal for sales of games to drop after their initial launch, Monster Hunter Wilds, which launched February 28, has seen a dramatic decline during the period from April to June 30, 2025. As highlighted in Capcom's financial report for Q1 2025, the sequel sold 477,000 units and was their ninth best-selling game overall. This is only just above its four-year old predecessor Monster Hunter Rise, which sold 389,000 within the same period. While this alone is surprising, the steep drop is even more noticeable when you see what's above it. The best-selling Capcom game of Q1 was 2019's Devil May Cry 5 at 1.7 million, while Devil May Cry HD Collection and Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (games with roots as far back as 2001) both topped it too with 594,000 and 495,000 sales, respectively. The reason for this bump is Netflix's Devil May Cry series, which came out on April 3, 2025 and has generally been well received. It was renewed for a second season a week after the first season came out, so it's clearly done well ratings wise – not that Netflix ever provides figures. This boom in popularity for the Devil May Cry games is reminiscent of the Fallout TV show's success, which also lifted sales of the games, some of them extremely old. It's unclear when the second season of Devil May Cry will come out, but based on these figures, Capcom would be wise to coincide its release with the long overdue, yet still unannounced, Devil May Cry 6.

Devil May Cry 5 – 1.7 million Resident Evil Village – 923,000 Resident Evil 4 remake – 706,000 Resident Evil 7 – 635,000 Devil May Cry HD Collection – 594,000 Street Fighter 6 – 538,000 Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition – 495,000 Resident Evil 2 remake – 482,000 Monster Hunter Wilds – 477,000 Monster Hunter Rise – 389,000 Beyond Dante's boost, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil 7, and Resident Evil 2 remake all outsold Monster Hunter Wilds too – something Capcom attributes to the announcement of Resident Evil Requiem in early June. In the report, Capcom acknowledged sales for Monster Hunter Wilds 'were soft', but highlighted how Monster Hunter Rise 'continued to see sales growth'. The big question is, why has Monster Hunter Wilds sales dropped off a cliff? On Steam, the game carries an 'overwhelmingly negative' rating due to its poor performance on PC, which still hasn't been properly addressed since launch. A more general complaint across platforms is the lack of endgame content, which is vital to any online game's longevity. Like past titles in the series, there will likely be an expansion in the future to rectify this issue, but at the moment (for some players at least) it's lacking in both difficulty and reasons to return. An update on release date and content of update Ver.1.021The expansion of endgame content which was originally planned as part of Title Update 3 in late September will now be released ahead of schedule as part of the Ver.1.021 update. To accommodate this change, this update… — Monster Hunter (@monsterhunter) July 29, 2025 This sales downturn might be why Capcom is pushing forward the release date of extra endgame content for Monster Hunter Wilds. More Trending As announced on X this week, endgame additions which were planned as part of the Title 3 update in late September will now be released 'ahead of schedule', as part of the Ver.1.021 update on August 13, 2025. Along with expanded weapon balance adjustments, this update will now contain a new level of quest difficulty and a new rewards system for certain quests. Beyond this update, an additional monster is set to be added in September as part of the Title Update 3, while Title Update 4, planned for 'winter', will come with another new monster and 'more challenging hunts'.

'Devil May 5' Passes 10 Million Sales Since 2019 Thanks To Netflix Anime
Devil May Cry 5 has raked up an SSS rank combo, as the title has hit an impressive sales milestone of 10 million, with developer Capcom attributing the game's success to Netflix's recently released Devil May Cry anime adaptation. 'The title has garnered strong support from users due to its exceptional gameplay experience, leading to expanded sales as a catalogue title since its release,' Capcom said in a statement marking the game's sales milestone. 'Recently, on 3 April 2025, the company released the new Devil May Cry animated series on Netflix, in line with the company's Single Content Multiple Usage strategy.' Netflix's Devil May Cry (2025) 'The animated series has garnered critical acclaim from around the world, and with more than 5.3 million views, it ranked fourth during its first week globally in the 'Shows | English' category, while also ranking in the top 10 for seven consecutive days in Japan… Due to efforts to enhance brand awareness by leveraging the title beyond the scope of videogames, including television adaptations, the title has now exceeded 10 million units in cumulative sales worldwide.' True enough, the game saw a spike in player counts on Steam, jumping from 2,577 peak players to 14,645 players in April this year, coinciding with the launch of the Netflix anime, an impressive feat for a now five-year-old title. The 2019 title now sits as the best-selling game in the franchise by a fair margin, with the next runner-up being 2008's Devil May Cry 4 , which has sold 6 million copies to date. With its success, it won't be surprising if Capcom were to announce a Devil May Cry sequel sometime in the near future. For now, the company has its hands full with two major upcoming games: The long-awaited survival horror sequel Resident Evil: Requiem and Pragmata , its ambitious new sci-fi IP that recently resurfaced at the PlayStation State of Play June 2025 after two years of absence.
