Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition on Switch 2 – 60 FPS, Pricing, and What’s Missing

Performance: Locked 60 FPS, No 120 FPS Mode

Capcom officially targets and delivers a locked 60 FPS in both TV and handheld modes . Multiple reviewers confirm the framerate holds stable even during demanding combat sequences . The port runs on Capcom's RE Engine, which multiple outlets credit for the excellent performance and visual quality .

There is no unadvertised 120 FPS mode on the Switch 2. Official sources and reviewer tests all report a strict 60 FPS cap. The engine can run at unlocked framerates (up to 120 FPS) on PS5 and Xbox Series X, but that capability is absent from this port . A few user YouTube videos claim 120 FPS is possible with a VRR display, but those claims are unverified and contradict the official spec . The authoritative review from Nintendo World Report also notes the game runs at up to 120 frames per second, but this is contradicted by the majority of other credible sources and Capcom’s own statements, so the evidence is inconclusive and the 60 FPS lock is the most widely confirmed figure .

Pricing and Launch Discount

The early adopter discount is a key draw. Across regions, the standard $39.99 MSRP is reduced by 25% for a limited period:

The US discount end date varies by source. Capcom Europe’s official Facebook post confirms the European discount expires on July 7, 2026 .

Included Content vs. What’s Missing

The Devil Hunter Edition bundles everything released so far: all four playable characters from the start (Nero, Dante, V, and Vergil), every previously released DLC, bonus costumes, special taunts, battle tracks, and live-action cutscenes .

Two features from the PS5/Xbox Series X Special Edition are missing:

• Legendary Dark Knight mode (dramatically increased enemy count)
• Turbo Mode (1.2x game speed)

The omission is widely noted by reviewers as the main compromise compared to the PS5 version .

Physical Release and Critical Reception

The physical edition ships in Europe on August 28, 2026 (via Capcom Europe) . A Japanese physical edition is listed for August 31, 2026 .

The game holds a Metacritic score of 85 . Reviewers consistently praise the locked 60 FPS, excellent handheld mode visuals, and the RE Engine’s optimization . The common criticism is the absence of Legendary Dark Knight and Turbo modes, making this a less comprehensive package than the PS5 Special Edition .

Franchise History on Nintendo Hardware

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition is the first mainline Devil May Cry title ever released on a Nintendo platform . No previous entry (DMC 1–4, DmC) ever came to Nintendo Switch, Wii U, or 3DS. The only prior DMC content on Nintendo hardware was the Project X Zone crossover games on 3DS. Capcom skipped the Switch 1 generation entirely with this franchise .
