“ Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is specifically being developed and optimized to benefit the system architecture and leap in processing power offered by PS5 and Xbox Series X, so we’re focusing on these platforms,” a Capcom spokesperson told Eurogamer.
These sound like fantastic reasons to give Devil May Cry 5 a second spin, but unfortunately for PC gamers, the Special Edition will be exclusive to Sony and Microsoft’s next-gen consoles. During this week’s PlayStation 5 showcase, Capcom announced Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition: a souped-up version of the 2018 hack-and-slash hit that re-introduces fan-favorite Vergil in playable form, two new game modes (Turbo Mode, Legendary Dark Knight), and a handful of technical improvements such as increased frame rates, faster loading times, and – drum roll – ray tracing.
