Dragon’s Dogma 2 has had a bit of a rocky launch, with all the microtransaction talk and performance issues on PC and consoles. While this may have stopped some players from taking it up, millions have already.
Today, Capcom announced sales to date, roughly ten days after the game’s release.

Since its release on March 22, “Dragon’s Dogma 2” has sold more than 2.5 million copies. Capcom didn’t reveal whether that number strictly includes sales to consumers, or if it also takes into account shipments to retailers. Nonetheless, these 2.5 million copies were enough to push the series’ cumulative total to over 10 million copies.
Ahead of the game’s release, Capcom said earlier this year that it expected the action-RPG to hit the “million-seller level.” It’s an interesting statement, too, since Dragon’s Dogma 2 is Capcom’s first $70 game, and it’s a bit strange for Capcom to choose to follow the $70 bandwagon with a game.
However, despite appearances, 2.5 million copies sold is more than a third of the original game’s total sales, something the game achieved through multiple re-releases over the years.
Compared to other recent games released by Capcom, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a bit low-end. “Resident Evil 4 Remake” sold 3 million copies in its first two days of release, which is impressive. Still, remasters of the most popular and beloved Resident Evil games have always sold better on release than sequels to esoteric role-playing games.
The first official patch for Dragon’s Dogma 2 was released over the weekend, adding the option to start a new game and making smaller tweaks elsewhere. More major patches are expected to be released in the coming weeks, most notably addressing the game’s CPU performance issues.
