Devil May Cry 5 Comes to Switch 2 and Frostpunk 2's New DLC Caps Off a Quietly Strong Month for Gaming

[SpinState]

Devil May Cry 5 arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 in the final week of June, bringing Capcom's celebrated hack-and-slash classic to an entirely new platform audience who never had a legitimate way to play it on Nintendo hardware before. The port arrives at a moment when the Switch 2's hardware capability has made previously console-exclusive third-party titles a genuinely realistic proposition, a meaningful shift from the original Switch's more limited ability to run demanding contemporary games.

The same week saw Frostpunk 2's Breach of Trust expansion launch to strong early reception, extending the acclaimed city-building survival game with new political mechanics and substantial story content. Developer 11 bit studios built the expansion around the most requested content type from its own community surveys, a responsive approach to post-launch development that has helped the studio maintain a consistently positive relationship with its player base since the original Frostpunk's release nearly a decade ago.

While June produced a quieter release calendar overall compared to the more packed autumn months ahead, the quality and reception of titles like these two reflects a healthy gaming industry continuing to deliver genuinely well-crafted experiences even outside the busiest commercial release windows. With Nintendo's Star Fox remake also performing strongly and GTA 6 pre-orders confirming a November 19 launch, the broader trajectory across the second half of 2026 looks like one of the stronger periods for the industry in recent memory, offering players across multiple genres and platforms a genuinely promising lineup to look forward to.
