Devil May Cry 5 on Switch 2: Capcom's secret to achieving smooth 60 FPS

Capcom has confirmed that Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition will achieve 60 FPS on Nintendo Switch 2 thanks to a strategy of hardware optimization and the removal of ray tracing.

Capcom has just announced impressive specifications for Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition on the Nintendo Switch 2. The biggest highlight is its ability to maintain a stable frame rate, promising a top-notch hack-and-slash action experience right on a handheld device.

Optimization strategy: Prioritize performance over luxury benefits.

According to the developers, the primary technical goal of this port is to maintain a consistent 60 frames per second (FPS). Notably, this performance is guaranteed in both docked (display output) and handheld modes. This is a significant step forward for Nintendo consoles, which often compromise speed for resolution.

To achieve a stable 60 FPS, Capcom made decisive technical choices. They decided to remove features that consume excessive hardware resources, such as Ray Tracing . Additionally, two modes that require extremely high processing power—Turbo Mode and the Legendary Dark Knight difficulty level (with its dense enemy population)—will also be omitted from this version.

Removing heavy effects not only helps stabilize the frame rate but also makes the game's memory size more manageable. The total installation size of Devil May Cry 5 on Switch 2 is only about 28 GB, a very optimal amount for the memory of handheld consoles.

A complete experience with all the characters.

Despite some graphical cuts, Devil Hunter Edition remains an extremely complete version in terms of content. Players can access the entire story campaign and all the main characters right from the start. The character roster includes Nero, Dante, V, and especially Dante's twin brother, Vergil.

Vergil is fully integrated into the game's structure, allowing players to utilize the character's signature concentration-based combat style in all main missions. This package also includes previously unreleased DLC content such as the EX Color Pack (alternative outfits) and Nero's unique mechanical arms like the Mega Buster and Gerbera GP01.

Release roadmap and pricing strategy

Capcom will roll out the release in two phases. The digital version on the eShop will launch on June 23, 2026, at a promotional price of $30. After July 7, 2026, the price will return to the standard price of $40. For those who prefer collecting physical cartridges, this version will officially be available later, on August 28, 2026.
