Devil May Cry 5 finally comes to Nintendo hardware on June 23, 2026, with a native Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Capcom’s acclaimed 2019 action masterpiece. For the millions who never owned a PlayStation, Xbox, or gaming PC, this is the first chance to experience one of the genre’s high-water marks on the go — and Capcom’s RE Engine has proven a strong fit for Switch 2’s hardware.
The core remains untouched and undiminished. DMC5 hands you three radically different stylish-action protagonists: Nero, with his mechanical Devil Breaker arms; the returning legend Dante and his ever-expanding arsenal of styles and weapons; and the enigmatic newcomer V, who commands demonic familiars from a distance. Each plays so differently that mastering all three is effectively learning three games, and the series’ signature Stylish ranking system still pushes you to turn every encounter into a fluid, improvised performance rather than a button-mash.
Wrapped around that combat is a surprisingly heartfelt story about the Sparda bloodline, told with the over-the-top swagger the series is famous for, and backed by some of the best demon-slaying spectacle ever rendered. The Switch 2 version is expected to carry the full package, including the additional content and post-launch modes that rounded out the experience on other platforms.
Whether you’re a newcomer drawn by the hype or a veteran who wants the definitive portable version, the Switch 2 release puts a near-perfect action game in your hands. It launches June 23, 2026, and stands as one of the strongest catalog additions to Nintendo’s new console this year.
