If you own a Switch 2 and have been waiting for a great hack-and-slash game to justify the purchase, today is a good day.
Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition lands on the eShop on June 23, 2026, at limited-time discounted pricing. Given that it’s a game from a franchise that has sold over 38 million copies, that is a deal worth paying attention to.
So what exactly is in the Devil Hunter Edition?
This is the first time any Devil May Cry game has come to a portable Nintendo device, courtesy of Capcom.
All four playable characters are available from the start: Nero, Dante, V, and Vergil, Dante’s twin brother, whose concentration-based combat style is available across all the main missions in the game.
DMC5 alone has surpassed 11 million units sold. This Switch 2 port includes the EX Color Pack for alternate costumes, along with additional mechanical arms for Nero (including the classic Mega Buster and the Gerbera GP01).
The file size clocks in at a manageable 28GB (via Notebookcheck).
Does the port actually hold up on Switch 2?
Capcom’s stated priority was a locked 60 frames per second. The game delivers it in both docked and handheld modes, ensuring smooth gameplay on the handheld console.
A few things didn’t make the cut, though: hardware ray tracing, Turbo Mode, and the enemy-dense Legendary Dark Knight difficulty. They’re all absent, and might disappoint some Switch owners.
For most players, however, those are acceptable trade-offs for a game that runs this smoothly in your hands. The eShop version is available from June 23 at $30. The $30 price applies until July 7, after which it moves to $40. A physical edition follows on August 28.
