Capcom announced Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 during the June 9, 2026 Nintendo Direct livestream. The digital version launches on June 23, 2026, and a physical edition follows on August 28, 2026, in Europe. The port includes the base game and all previously released downloadable content, including alternate character colors, Devil Breaker weapons, and battle tracks. It runs at 60 frames per second in both docked and handheld modes. The announcement marks the first Devil May Cry release on a Nintendo platform since the original trilogy appeared on Switch.

Six days later, Capcom reported that Devil May Cry 5 sold 2.7 million units in fiscal year 2026, surpassing its first-year sales. The company attributed the performance to a synergistic effect from the Netflix animated series, which premiered in April 2025 and has since been renewed for a second and third season. Repeat titles accounted for 83.7% of Capcom's total sales for the fiscal year.

The Switch 2 version brings the full Devil May Cry 5 experience, including the playable Vergil and all DLC, to a portable platform at a stable 60fps. It remains unclear whether the Turbo Mode from the Special Edition is included. The original game launched in March 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and received a special edition for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2020.
