The official Devil May Cry Twitter has announced that sales for Devil May Cry 5 have surpassed over 6 million copies worldwide.

In the Tweet, Capcom thanks all of the “SSStylish fans” for supporting the game and franchise.

A large portion of the replies to Capcom’s Tweet have ranged from a simple ‘W’ to thanking Capcom for the game. DMC5 is the most recent game in the franchise, and it came out in 2019. There have been no official news yet as to whether or not a Devil May Cry 6 is on the horizon. However, this number of sales may encourage Capcom to give the green light for yet another sequel to the franchise.

Back in April 2022, Capcom announced that Devil May Cry 5 exceeded 5 million unit sales worldwide. That means that within the span of around six months, it sold a million more copies. Though the game is around three years old, it remains a popular entry to the series. This is in comparison to Devil May Cry 4, which capped at 3 million lifetime sales.

Devil May Cry 5 is available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
