Capcom runs DMC franchise sales a few times every year, but this one is unusual for two reasons. First, the discount tier is higher — in last year’s April sale, mainline games sat around 70-75% off. This time, Steam is going up to 85%. That’s the deepest cut I’ve seen for DMC5 since launch.
Second, the timing is deliberate. Netflix released Season 2 of the Devil May Cry animated series on May 12, which is the same week the sale started. Capcom is openly riding the show’s momentum to push new players into the games. If you finished the anime and felt the urge to actually wield Dante’s sword and play through Red Grave City yourself, this is when to do it.
Whether you’re a complete newcomer who only knows the franchise from the Netflix show or a returning fan who wants to fill out a collection, the price-to-value ratio right now is genuinely hard to beat.

Watch Order vs Play Order: How To Start If You’re Coming From Netflix
This is the most frequently asked question from people just getting into Devil May Cry from the anime. The Netflix series and the games tell different but connected stories. Here’s how to navigate it:
If you watched the Netflix anime first:
The Netflix series is its own self-contained adaptation — it’s not a direct retelling of the games. It draws from the lore but presents an alternate angle on Dante’s world. So you don’t need to “catch up” on the game story to follow the show. But the other way around — jumping from the show into the games — is where most people get confused.
My recommendation: skip straight to Devil May Cry 5. It’s the most polished entry, runs on modern engines, and offers the smoothest learning curve for newcomers. The story is technically the latest in the timeline, but DMC5 deliberately recaps just enough backstory to onboard fresh players. You don’t need to have played DMC 1, 2, 3, or 4 to enjoy it.
If you want the proper chronological story:
Play in release order, not chronological order. The games were designed to be played the way they were released, and the storytelling assumes you’re building familiarity with the cast that way.
- Devil May Cry HD Collection (covers DMC 1, 2, and 3 — yes, in that order)
- Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition
- Devil May Cry 5 (with optional Vergil DLC at the end)
Skip DmC: Devil May Cry (the 2013 reboot). It’s a standalone alternate-universe entry and not part of the main canon. Some people love it, but it confuses new players who think it slots into the timeline. It doesn’t.

Will These Games Run On Your Low-End Laptop?
This is the part most deal-roundup articles skip, and it matters more than the price. There’s no point buying a ₹150 game if your laptop crashes trying to launch it. Here’s the honest breakdown for the three games most people will actually buy.
Devil May Cry 5 — Minimum Specs
| Component | Minimum Requirement |
| OS | Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-4460 or AMD FX-6300 |
| RAM | 8 GB |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GTX 760 / AMD Radeon R7 260x (2GB VRAM) |
| Storage | 35 GB free space |
| DirectX | Version 11 |
In real-world Indian conditions, most laptops priced ₹45,000 and above from 2020 onwards will run DMC5 at 1080p Medium settings without major issues. Even older budget gaming laptops with GTX 1050 or RX 560 graphics cards comfortably push past 60 fps. If you’re on integrated graphics (Intel UHD or AMD Vega without a discrete GPU), DMC5 will struggle. Look at the HD Collection instead.

Devil May Cry HD Collection — Runs On Almost Anything
This is where Indian budget gamers win. The HD Collection is built on older engines and runs smoothly on basically any laptop made in the last seven years. 4 GB RAM, integrated Intel HD graphics, Core i3 — it’ll run. If your laptop opens YouTube without stuttering, it can play DMC HD Collection. The art style is dated, the controls feel a bit stiff by modern standards, but the gameplay holds up, and the story is essential franchise lore.
Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition — Mid-Range Sweet Spot
DMC4 SE sits between the two. It needs a basic dedicated GPU (GTX 750 or above), 4GB RAM minimum, and about 22 GB of storage. Most college laptops with even an entry-level discrete GPU will handle it on high settings. Frame rates are locked at 60fps for the original release, which is more than enough.
Which Devil May Cry Game Should You Buy First?
Honest verdict, based on three different reader types:
You’re a complete newcomer who just watched the anime:
Buy Devil May Cry 5. It’s the most modern, has the smoothest combat introduction, and Capcom designed it to onboard fresh players. At ₹149-299 right now, the value is absurd.
You’re a returning player who already finished DMC5 years ago:
Grab the HD Collection if you missed the first three. Or jump on the Franchise Pack for around ₹725-899 — it bundles HD Collection + DMC4 SE + DMC5 and works out cheaper than buying them separately, even at sale prices.
You’re a student on a tight budget with a basic laptop:
DMC HD Collection at under ₹200 is your pick. It’ll run on practically anything, gives you three full games (DMC 1, 2, and 3), and covers the foundational storyline of the franchise. Skip everything else for now and come back for DMC5 once you upgrade your hardware.

My Verdict: Is This Sale Actually Worth It?
Yes — with one caveat. The discount levels here are genuinely the deepest I’ve tracked in 2026 for this franchise, and the games themselves are excellent. DMC5 in particular is among the most well-reviewed action games of the last seven years, with 96% positive reviews on Steam from over 100,000 users. At ₹149-299, you’re paying less than a single Zomato meal for a 15-20 hour single-player campaign that holds up brilliantly.
The caveat is the genre fit. Devil May Cry is a stylish action game with deep combat systems and a steep skill curve. If you primarily play casual mobile games or laid-back open-world titles, the difficulty might feel punishing. There’s no shame in playing on the easier difficulty modes — they exist for a reason. Just know what you’re signing up for.
For everyone else — students, anime fans, action game enthusiasts, returning Dante fans — this is one of the best franchise sales of the year so far. Don’t wait. The sale ends May 25, and prices reset to full.

Q: What is the cheapest Devil May Cry game on Steam right now?
A: DmC: Devil May Cry (the 2013 reboot) is currently the cheapest at approximately ₹89-149 in India. But if you want a mainline canon game, Devil May Cry 5 or the HD Collection at around ₹149-199 are better picks.
Q: When does the Devil May Cry Steam Sale end?
A: The sale runs from May 11 to May 25, 2026. All discounts expire at 10 AM PDT on May 25.
Q: Should I play Devil May Cry games before watching the Netflix show?
A: No — the Netflix anime is a self-contained adaptation and doesn’t require prior game knowledge. You can watch the show first and then play the games. The reverse also works.

Q: Is the DMC Franchise Pack worth buying?
A: Yes, if you want multiple games. The Franchise Pack bundles DMC HD Collection + DMC4 Special Edition + DMC5 at a combined discount that works out cheaper than buying them individually, even at sale prices.
