Ideally, work on a new Devil May Cry game began long before the Netflix show dropped (Netflix)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Capcom<\/a> is hopefully paying attention to Devil May Cry\u2019s hit new Netflix<\/a> show and the effect it\u2019s having on game sales on Steam.<\/p>\n

Last week saw Netflix launch its latest video game to TV adaptation: Devil May Cry, which is based on the Capcom series of the same name.<\/p>\n

Although it got some criticism for how it adapted the series\u2019 lore and story, the Devil May Cry show has been another success story for Netflix, as it\u2019s already been commissioned for a second season.<\/p>\n

Much like Amazon\u2019s Fallout show<\/a>, that success has led to a renewed interest in the games on PC (and probably console but that\u2019s harder to track) which will hopefully incentivise Capcom to make a Devil May Cry 6.<\/p>\n

Devil May Cry 5<\/a> \u2013 the most recent entry in the series \u2013 has benefited the most, with over 10,000 players on Steam<\/a> following the Netflix show\u2019s debut on April 3.<\/p>\n

The HD compilation<\/a> of the first three games has also seen a noticeable uptick in players, jumping from a few hundred players to several thousands.<\/p>\n

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition<\/a> hasn\u2019t enjoyed as much of a boost, but it still has hundreds more players than it did before and the same can be said for the controversial 2013 reboot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Devil May Cry 5 also managed to climb as high as number 12 on Steam\u2019s global bestsellers list<\/a> (for reference, Capcom\u2019s newest release, Monster Hunter Wilds<\/a>, is at number 10) and while it\u2019s since dropped out of the top 20, it\u2019s currently outperforming the likes of Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/a> and Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It does help that Capcom is currently running a series-wide sale on Steam<\/a>, to coincide with the Netflix show, with discounts of up to 75% on all the games and DLC. The sale will last until April 16.<\/p>\n
