Capcom brings Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition to the Nintendo Switch 2, offering a smooth 60 FPS gameplay experience anytime and anywhere.

Capcom has officially confirmed the release specifics for Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2. Arriving on the digital storefront on June 23, 2026, the port brings the fast-paced action title to a portable Nintendo device for the first time. The deployment comes as the overall franchise surpasses 38 million lifetime sales, with this specific entry representing over 11 million units of that total.

Performance optimization and visual tweaks

According to the developer specifications, maintaining a consistent frame rate served as the primary technical goal. The game successfully hits 60 frames per second in both docked and handheld configurations. Capcom opted to leave out resource-heavy extras like hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Players will also notice the omission of Turbo Mode and the enemy-dense Legendary Dark Knight difficulty tier. By scaling back these specific hardware demands, the game keeps its installation footprint to a highly manageable 28 GB.

Complete character access from the start

The Devil Hunter Edition includes immediate access to the full story campaign and its entire roster of protagonists. Right from the initial boot screen, players can choose between Nero, Dante, V, and Dante's twin brother, Vergil. Vergil is fully integrated into the game structure, allowing users to take his complex concentration-based combat style through every main mission.

The software also packages several legacy premium add-on bundles directly into the core download. This includes the EX Color Pack for alternative character costumes, alongside distinct mechanical arms for Nero like the classic Mega Buster and the directional Gerbera GP01.

Release details and launch pricing

Capcom is handling the rollout using a distinct phased schedule. The eShop version debuts tomorrow at a promotional price of $30, which remains active until it shifts to a standard $40 baseline after July 7. Brick-and-mortar collectors can pick up a physical cartridge version a bit later, with the retail release officially scheduled for August 28, 2026.
