Devil May Cry's current picture is split between the game series and the Netflix animated adaptation, with the two feeding each other. Capcom released Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 as a download on June 23, 2026, and a physical version on August 28 at 3,990 yen. The edition runs at 60fps in TV and handheld modes and includes playable Vergil and other add-on content. Unofficial verification videos show the port reaching a 120fps ceiling, above the official 60fps cap, with variable refresh rate smoothing portable play. Series sales exceed 40 million copies worldwide.
The Netflix series drove measurable interest in the games. Season 2 premiered on May 12, 2026, and Steam concurrent players for the series rose sharply from that date, with Devil May Cry 5 jumping from 1,431 to 7,432 players between May 11 and May 15. Capcom reported record fiscal 2026 sales, with repeat titles at 83.7 percent of total sales and Devil May Cry 5 selling 2.7 million units in the year, surpassing its first-year sales, which the company attributes to a synergistic effect from the anime.
Netflix confirmed on June 4, 2026 that the animated adaptation will get a third and final season. Showrunner Adi Shankar said the series was planned as a three-part story based on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, with Season 1 as Inferno, Season 2 as Purgatorio, and Season 3 as Paradiso. The first season, produced by Studio Mir, debuted in April 2025 with eight episodes and accumulated 21.7 million views in 2025; Season 2 reached 6.4 million views in its first two weeks.
The collaboration with KAZUMA KANEKO'S TSUKUYOMI is ending on Steam only. Colopl will remove the Devil May Cry collaboration content from the Steam version after finding internal confirmation procedures deficient. Steam store sales paused on September 4, 2026, existing buyers can keep playing during the pause, and a patch expected around late September will remove the content. Refund handling is still being confirmed. The Switch version keeps the collaboration.
