Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition is a singleplayer hack and slash action game developed and published by Capcom. It is part of the Devil May Cry series, and chronologically takes place before Devil May Cry.
The original game, Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, was released on PlayStation 2 in 2005. The enhanced Special Edition was released on PlayStation 2 between June and October 2006, adding new features such as retooled difficulty levels, mid-mission checkpoints, "GOLD mode", and a mode where players can play as Vergil. The Special Edition release was later ported to PC in-house by Capcom and released in several regions throughout 2006, starting in the UK by Mastertronic Games on June 28, in Japan by Sourcenext on June 30 and in North America by Ubisoft on October 16. It was later released worldwide on Steam on June 12, 2007.
The game suffers from bad performance caused by sound files.[2] See Poor performance.
It was delisted on Steam from January 31, 2024.

Essential improvements
Patches
- Latest version is 1.3.0. Digital distributed versions are already patched to the latest version.
- For the legacy version of the patch, if the app says
"the version that has been installed cannot be acquired/installation destination is not found"
which prevents the update, use the Registry Fix first to properly locate your game folder in the registry and then use the Patch again.[3] Video tutorial on how to update the game. - Updating the game makes it compatible with the Style Switcher mod and enables Windows Vista support.
- The update gives the Gamepad Configuration Tool (GPadCfg) that allows the user to assign keys for DInput controllers. Controller configurations will be saved at the bottom part in the
DMC3SE.ini
.

Modifications
- It is recommended to update the game version to 1.3 (for the retail version) before installing the mods.
Style Switcher
- Although no longer maintained by the original developers, an unofficial continuation of Style Switcher for the 2006 port of Devil May Cry 3 can be found here and can be applied on top of previous versions of Style Switcher.[6]
- Make sure to have a backup of the original save file first before using Style Switcher Mod.
- Offers many video options (including resolution, FOV and improved visual effects), optional gameplay modifications (including style switching), and XInput controller support.
- Game crashes if either Style/Weapon Switcher is Enabled when changing Style/Weapons in the Divinity Statue (happens on v3.1.6).
- When enabled, Weapon Switcher will unlock all Guns and Devil Arms even when starting a new progress. It also keeps the Gun Level at Lv. 1 (happens on v3.1.6).
- Weapon Switcher causes save file corruption after saving data with the feature enabled. Using Style Switcher alone will make the game crash after selecting certain missions unless both SS and WS are either enabled or disabled (happens on v3.1.6).

Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition Mods Starter Pack
- A preconfigured compilation of community made mods and fixes meant to fix the game while keeping the game vanilla.
- Includes Style Switcher v3 as a core, fixed HQ music, XInput controller support without necessity of using middleware software and different button prompts.
- The included version of Style Switcher is outdated.
- Has texture errors for Dante during certain cutscenes.
- Dante stays midair when riding down the elevator and the Temperance Wagon.
