Capcom released Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 on June 23, 2026, following its announcement during the June 9 Nintendo Direct. The digital version launched at a discounted price of 2,990 yen until July 31, with a physical version scheduled for August 28. The port runs at 60 frames per second in both docked and handheld modes, a key feature for the series' fast-paced action on a portable platform.

This edition includes the base game and all previously released downloadable content, such as alternate character colors, Devil Breaker weapons, battle tracks, and the playable Vergil mode. The Vergil content, previously sold separately or included in the 2020 special edition for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, is now part of the standard package. The Switch 2 version is the first Devil May Cry release on a Nintendo platform since the original trilogy appeared on Switch.

The port arrives amid renewed interest in the franchise. Capcom reported that Devil May Cry 5 sold 2.7 million units in fiscal year 2026, surpassing its first-year sales, which the company attributed to a synergistic effect from the Netflix animated series. The anime premiered in April 2025 and has been renewed for a second and third season. The Switch 2 edition is also listed among that week's notable game releases, launching two days before a cluster of major titles on June 25.
