Last September, Sony hosteda huge PlayStation 5 eventthat revealed the console design itself, alongside some games that will be released on the next-gen console. During the event, Capcom revealedDevil May Cry 5: Special Edition, which is an upgraded version of the 2019 game that will be released to both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Over the past few weeks, Capcom has been teasing some of the features that players can expect inDevil May Cry 5: Special Edition,including fast loading times on the PS5. Yesterday, Capcom confirmed that the PS5 and Xbox Series X would support raytracing inDevil May Cry 5.Unfortunately, the same isn’t true for the Xbox Series S. Of course, this news doesn’t come as a surprise given that the Series S is designed to be the less-powerful version of the Series X in favor of an affordable price.

However,players who are eyeing the Xbox Series Sshouldn’t worry that much given that Capcom revealed in a tweet that it is “just now scratching the surface of what they can do.” This could mean that there is a possibility that ray tracing will be added to the Xbox Series S version of the game in the future. Additionally, the developer also said that it would explore the full capabilities of all next-gen consoles in the future.
Moreover, Capcom revealed that all versions ofDevil May Cry 5: Special Editionwill support framerates of up to 120 fps, 3D audio, Turbo Mode, the Legendary Knight Difficulty level, and a playable Vergil. Unfortunately for players who will stay with current-generation consoles, the PS4 and Xbox One versions ofDevil May Cry 5will not be getting the majority of these new features. However, they will still be ableto play as Vergil via a paid DLC.
At the end of the day, it is interesting to see just how much gamers will embrace the Xbox Series S in the future. It is worth noting that console manufacturers do not usually release affordable yet inferior consoles alongside the more powerful flagship models. Sure, the PS5 is also releasing a cheaper version of the console at launch, but the only difference is that one model is purely digital while the other contains a disc drive and is a little bit more expensive. In terms of power,both the normal PS5 and the all-digital modelcontain the same technology inside.
Devil May Cry 5: Special Editionwill release in November as a PS5 and Xbox Series X launch title.
