Devil May Cry 5 Reasons to Be Hyped
| # | Reason | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Full 60fps handheld mode | Switch 2’s power makes this POSSIBLE |
| 2 | All DLC included | Vergil playable from the start |
| 3 | Gyro aiming for ranged weapons | Precise Ebony & Ivory shots on the go |
| 4 | Exclusive Nintendo costumes | Mario/Luigi Dante confirmed (!!) |
| 5 | Local co-op via GameShare | Bloody Palace with a friend — WIRELESSLY |
The original Devil May Cry franchise defined the stylish action genre — and having DMC5 at full performance on a portable console is genuinely a technical miracle!

Performance Comparison
| Platform | Resolution | Framerate | Load Times |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | 4K | 120fps | Instant |
| Xbox Series X | 4K | 120fps | 2 seconds |
| Switch 2 (docked) | 1080p | 60fps | 4 seconds |
| Switch 2 (handheld) | 720p | 60fps | 5 seconds |
60fps in HANDHELD mode is the real headline — the original Switch could barely run RE Engine games at 30fps!

FAQs
When does Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition release on Switch 2?
No exact date confirmed yet — Capcom says “launch window” suggesting it’ll be available within the Switch 2’s first month!

Not quite — expect 1080p/60fps docked versus PS5’s 4K/120fps, but the portable factor makes it a unique way to experience DMC5!
