The game was generally well-received, with IGN giving the game an 8.5 out of 10. However, they added that though the game was fun to play, it was "more of the same" from Capcom, and that ''Mega Man'', like many other series made by Capcom, was being milked for as much as it was worth.<ref name="ignrev"/> GameSpot similarly commented that "Fans of the classic 2D games will no doubt find much to love in ''X5'', while those who can't get into the aging conventions and mechanics probably won't care a great deal for it."<ref name="gspotrev"/>

''Mega Man X5'' was included on the North American ''[[Mega Man X Collection]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[PlayStation 2]] in 2006.<ref>{{cite web | author=[[Jeremy Dunham|Dunham, Jeremy]] | date=January 10, 2006 | title=Mega Man X Ships to Stores | url=http://cube.ign.com/articles/680/680536p1.html | publisher=[[IGN]] | accessdate=2010-06-08}}</ref>
