Capcom Just Updated Its Platinum Sales and the Numbers Are Absolutely Insane

Capcom dropped its updated Platinum Titles list on November 6, 2025, showing sales figures as of September 30, 2025, and the numbers are staggering. The company now has 125 games that have sold over one million units, with 11 titles crossing the 10 million threshold. Resident Evil 2 Remake added another 500,000 sales to hit 16.3 million total, Monster Hunter Wilds somehow reached 10.7 million despite technical disasters, and Devil May Cry 5 is having a renaissance thanks to Netflix. Let’s break down all the major updates.

These Platinum Titles updates come quarterly and provide one of the most comprehensive looks at how Capcom’s massive catalog continues performing years after initial release. With franchises like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and Devil May Cry dominating the list, it’s clear why Capcom remains one of gaming’s most consistently profitable publishers.

Resident Evil Dominates as Always

The Resident Evil franchise continues its absolute dominance of Capcom’s sales charts. The series has now sold 178 million units total across all games, making it one of gaming’s most valuable properties. The remake strategy is clearly working, with multiple remade titles performing incredibly well.

Resident Evil 2 Remake added 500,000 units to reach 16.3 million lifetime sales, maintaining its position as Capcom’s best-selling individual Resident Evil title. That’s remarkable for a remake of a game that originally launched in 1998. The 2019 version has now outsold most original games in the series.

Resident Evil Village gained 600,000 units to hit 12.8 million total. That’s the biggest quarterly gain among Resident Evil titles, likely boosted by anticipation for Resident Evil Requiem launching February 27, 2026. When a new entry approaches, players often revisit recent games to refresh themselves on the story.

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard sold another 500,000 copies to reach 15.9 million lifetime sales. As the game that successfully rebooted the franchise with first-person perspective, it continues finding new audiences. Resident Evil 4 Remake added 500,000 units for 11.1 million total, while Resident Evil 3 Remake gained 400,000 to hit 10.6 million.

Complete Resident Evil Top Sellers

Here’s how the major Resident Evil titles stack up:

  • Resident Evil 2 Remake – 16.3 million units
  • Resident Evil 7 Biohazard – 15.9 million units
  • Resident Evil Village – 12.8 million units
  • Resident Evil 4 Remake – 11.1 million units
  • Resident Evil 3 Remake – 10.6 million units

Every single mainline Resident Evil game from the past several years has crossed 10 million sales. That’s an incredible hit rate that few franchises can match.

Monster Hunter’s Mixed Results

The Monster Hunter franchise hit 123 million total units sold, making it Capcom’s second-biggest series after Resident Evil. But the story within those numbers is complicated, especially regarding the troubled Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter World remains the undisputed king with 21.8 million units sold, adding 100,000 more this quarter. The Iceborne expansion sits at 15.6 million after gaining 200,000 units. These are lifetime achievements that most games never approach, and World is still selling seven years after launch.

Monster Hunter Rise added 300,000 units to reach 17.8 million lifetime sales. The Sunbreak expansion gained 200,000 for 10.4 million total. Rise has become the second-best-selling Monster Hunter game ever, which is impressive considering it launched on Switch before coming to other platforms.

Then there’s Monster Hunter Wilds. The game sold 200,000 units this quarter to bring lifetime sales to 10.7 million. That sounds great until you remember Wilds launched with 8 million sales in just three days before technical problems killed its momentum. The game faced major criticism for performance issues, causing sales to crater after that explosive start. Adding only 2.7 million sales across several months after moving 8 million in 72 hours is not the trajectory Capcom wanted.

Interestingly, Monster Hunter Rise actually outsold Monster Hunter Wilds during the most recent quarter despite being the older game. That’s not a good sign for Wilds, though Capcom will surely keep supporting it with updates and expansions to recover.

Devil May Cry’s Netflix Bump

Devil May Cry 5 is having an incredible second life thanks to Netflix. The game sold 200,000 units this quarter to reach 10.7 million lifetime sales, making it the best-selling Devil May Cry title ever. During Capcom’s first half of fiscal 2025/26 (April to September 2025), Devil May Cry 5 actually sold 2.13 million units, making it Capcom’s single best-selling title during that period.

For a game that originally launched in 2019, moving over 2 million copies in six months is extraordinary. The Devil May Cry Netflix anime that released earlier in 2025 clearly introduced the franchise to massive new audiences who then went back to play the games. This is exactly what Capcom’s Single Content Multiple Usage strategy aims for – leveraging IP across multiple media to drive engagement with everything.

The entire Devil May Cry series now sits at 37 million units sold. Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is at 3.6 million units, while the Devil May Cry HD Collection reached 2.9 million after selling 754,000 copies in the first half of fiscal 2025.

Street Fighter fighting game competition

Other Major Franchise Updates

Street Fighter 6 added 500,000 units to reach 5.7 million total. The game continues performing well with strong esports support and regular content updates. The Street Fighter franchise as a whole has sold 58 million units lifetime.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 gained 100,000 units this quarter for 3.9 million total. That’s respectable for an action RPG, though it hasn’t reached the heights Capcom might have hoped for. The Dragon’s Dogma series sits at 13 million units total.

The Dead Rising series has sold 18 million units total, with Dead Rising 3 leading at 4 million lifetime sales. Unfortunately, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster that launched last year doesn’t appear anywhere on the Platinum list with its 125 entries, which suggests it sold fewer than one million copies. That’s disappointing and likely means the series won’t get continued attention from Capcom.

Onimusha series reached 9 million units total. The Ace Attorney series hit 14 million. Mega Man stands at 43 million across all games. Marvel vs. Capcom has sold 12 million units. And the Okami series reached 4.7 million.

New Platinum Entry

MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection Arcade Classics entered the Platinum list with one million units sold. That’s a solid debut for a collection of classic fighting games, showing there’s still appetite for Capcom’s legacy content when packaged properly.

The Dino Crisis Surprise

One interesting update that many fans noticed is the Dino Crisis series now showing 4.6 million units sold. This is significant because it suggests Capcom is tracking interest in the franchise. With Resident Evil performing so well and survival horror having a renaissance, many fans have been begging for a Dino Crisis remake or revival. The fact that Capcom is specifically calling out these numbers keeps hope alive.

Digital Dominance

One crucial detail from Capcom’s broader financial report is the dominance of digital sales. During the first half of fiscal 2025/26, digital channels represented 94 percent of total sales at 22.41 million units. Physical sales made up only 6 percent. The PC platform led with 13.66 million digital units sold, up 27.2 percent year-over-year.

This shift to digital has major implications for how Capcom operates. Digital sales have higher profit margins, no inventory management, no manufacturing costs, and no retailer cuts. Games can stay in digital storefronts indefinitely, continuing to generate sales years after launch. That’s why Capcom’s catalog sales strategy works so well.

Catalog Sales Carrying the Company

Speaking of catalog sales, older titles accounted for 22.85 million units during the first half of fiscal 2025/26, representing nearly 96 percent of total sales. New releases contributed just under one million units, a 7.2 percent decline year-over-year. Capcom’s back catalog is doing the heavy lifting, which validates their approach of keeping older games available and regularly putting them on sale.

This is why the Platinum Titles list matters so much. It shows which games continue generating revenue long after launch. A game that sells 500,000 copies in a single quarter five years after release is contributing meaningful profit with minimal marketing spend.

Record Financial Performance

These strong sales translated to record financial results for Capcom. The company reported its strongest first-half results in company history with net sales of 81.1 billion yen, up 44 percent year-over-year. Operating profit hit 39.3 billion yen, up 90 percent. That kind of growth is remarkable for a company that’s been around for decades.

Capcom sold 23.85 million units total during the first half of fiscal 2025/26, a 19.1 percent increase year-over-year. The company is on track to achieve its full-year earnings forecast supported by strong catalog title sales.
