CAPCOM reported that Devil May Cry 5 achieved the highest sales among its titles during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The game sold 1,782,000 units between April and June 2025, making it the publisher's sole title to exceed one million sales that period. The Netflix anime series launch in April significantly boosted the game's performance across multiple platforms. Street Fighter 6 also demonstrated strong market presence, reaching five million total units after its Nintendo Switch 2 release. Monster Hunter Wilds disappointed with 477,000 units sold, representing a sharp decline from previous reporting periods.
The Japanese publisher experienced remarkable financial growth despite releasing no major new titles during the quarter. Net sales climbed 53.7 percent year-over-year to ¥45,502 million, while operating profit surged 90.8 percent to ¥24,597 million. These results demonstrate the lasting appeal of established franchises like Devil May Cry among gaming audiences. Former series director Hideaki Itsuno's departure from CAPCOM last year may affect future development plans. The strong Devil May Cry 5 performance suggests continued market demand for the action series.
