A new rumor suggests that Capcom plans to include Devil May Cry 5 to Nintendo Switch 2. Since its launch last June, the Nintendo Switch 2 has seen a number of third-party ports of games that weren't possible on the original Switch. Publishers have been playing catch-up since the system launched, with games like Star Wars: Outlaws, Final Fantasy 7: Remakeand Cyberpunk 2077. If it was released on PlayStation or Xbox in the past few years and skipped the Switch, it seems like there's a good chance it's coming to Nintendo Switch 2.
Right from the start, Capcom seems to be one of the biggest supporters of the Nintendo Switch 2. The publisher released several games on the original Switch, but the vast majority were compilations or ports of much older games. That situation has changed drastically in a short time, with newer games like Resident Evil Village and Street Fighter 6 ported to Switch 2, while brand new titles like Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmatics have been scheduled to arrive on the same day they launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. In addition to all of this, Capcom has partnered with Nintendo on several amiibo figures for its Switch 2 games.
On YouTube, leaker Nate the Hate claimed that Capcom plans to include Devil May Cry 5 for Nintendo Switch 2. The 2019 Capcom game debuted on PC, PS4 and Xbox One and was very well received upon release. Devil May Cry 5 has sold more than 10 million copies and has also won several awards. While Capcom hasn't confirmed the game for Nintendo Switch 2, it would make sense for several reasons.
In addition to the fact that Devil May Cry 5 is already a popular entry in the series, Capcom has also released several DMC games on the original Switch. After the filming of Nate the Hate's new video, a leak was discovered from Taiwan's rating board, which also suggests that Devil May Cry 5 is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. That makes this rumor all the more likely, but fans of the series should wait for confirmation from Capcom before getting too excited.
The game features several playable characters, including Dante, Nero, and VA Devil May Cry 5 the special edition added Vergil as a fourth playable character in 2020 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Presumably, that content will be offered from the start on the Nintendo Switch 2, similar to how Capcom has handled ports such as Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Devil May Cry 5 is the latest numbered entry, and Capcom has been quiet about the future of the series since then.
In recent years, there has been speculation that a sixth DMC game is in development. To bring Devil May Cry 5 that the Switch 2 could be a smart way for Capcom to start building interest, especially if a potential DMC 6 were to be released on Nintendo's new system alongside the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The rumor of Devil May Cry 5 was revealed as part of a broader discussion by Nate the Hate about games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 throughout the rest of 2026. In addition to Capcom's 2019 game, a new Star Fox and a remake of Ocarina of time rumored for the Nintendo Switch 2. If all these leaks turn out to be accurate, Nintendo Switch 2 owners should be pretty happy with the system's setup. For now, fans will have to wait patiently to see what Nintendo and its partners reveal. However, it seems that the rest of 2026 could reward those who upgraded from the original Switch.
