Expert Verified By

New Players Are Flooding Devil May Cry 5 After Enjoying The Anime!

Story Highlight
  • Netflix has recently released a Devil May Cry anime.
  • Following the launch, players are now returning to the title.
  • Devil May Cry 5 has seen over 13K concurrent players for the first time in nearly five years.  

Earlier this week, Netflix released an anime based on Capcom’s Devil May Cry. The anime has met with a great reception and is already at number 3 on the charts.

Following the massive launch of an anime, it appears that old fans of the franchise, along with new players, are playing Devil May Cry 5. For the first time in nearly five years, the game has reached over 13K concurrent players. 

Why it matters: Recently, many titles, such as Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us, have seen similar resurgences following the release of anime and TV shows based on them.

As seen in the above screenshot, around 12K players are currently enjoying Devil May Cry 5, and the title has had over 13.5K players in the last 24 hours.

It should also be noted that the title only peaked around 2K before the anime was released. Therefore, the concurrent player count of the title has increased by 6x. This is a massive achievement for everyone who’s worked on the franchise.

Since the anime is only a week old, the title will likely see more players join soon. Another reason for the massive increase in the number of players is a significant sale on the title.

On Steam, Devil May Cry 5 is currently the 10th best-selling title, beating massive games like Dead by Daylight and the recently released Assassin’s Creed Shadows to secure the position. 

It should also be noted that this list excludes free-to-play titles like Counter-Strike 2. It’s great to see a six-year-old title doing well, suggesting that players are already anticipating another entry in the franchise.

Not too long ago, Dante’s voice actor also teased the next entry in the franchise, but nothing has been officially announced yet.
