Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Platforms: Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox and PC
Every platform, whether there is a Switch 2 version, the frame rate and storage differences, Steam Deck support and the Game Pass answer.
Applies to: Platforms, Switch 2 compatibility, frame rate, storage and subscription availability for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, checked on October 16, 2026
Quick answer
Belmont's Curse is on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Steam (PC) and Nintendo Switch. There is no separate Switch 2 version — you play the Switch game on a Switch 2 through backward compatibility, and Nintendo lists it as Supported. KONAMI's stated frame rate is 60 fps, with the Switch version at 30 fps; the widely reported 60 fps on Switch 2 has not been confirmed by KONAMI. It is not on Xbox Game Pass: Microsoft said so directly, and it is a paid purchase everywhere.
At a glance
Belmont's Curse launched on five platforms at once, and the single most-asked question — "is there a Switch 2 version?" — has a specific answer: no, but the Switch version runs on a Switch 2.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Platforms at launch | PS5 · Xbox Series X|S · Xbox on PC · Steam (PC) · Nintendo Switch |
| Separate Switch 2 version | No — backward compatibility only |
| Stated frame rate | 60 fps (Switch: 30 fps) |
| On Game Pass | No — Microsoft confirmed it is a standalone purchase |
The platforms
All five versions are the same game: same story, same editions, same bonuses. What differs is how it runs and how big it is on disk. On Xbox, the title is Xbox Play Anywhere, so one digital purchase covers both the console and Xbox on PC with compatible saves — that is a buying convenience, not a subscription.
Switch 2: what you actually get
There is no Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and no paid upgrade. What ships is the Nintendo Switch game, and Nintendo lists it as supported on Switch 2 through backward compatibility. That means your Switch 2 is running the Switch build.
The frame rate question is where sources part company. KONAMI's spec sheet states 60 fps with the Nintendo Switch version at 30 fps. Multiple outlets reported that the game runs at 60 fps on a Switch 2, and Nintendo's own compatibility label notes that a supported game's behaviour "is consistent with Nintendo Switch". KONAMI has not published a Switch 2 frame rate, so the 60 fps figure is reported, not confirmed.
Frame rate and storage
| Version | Frame rate | Storage (Standard) | Storage (Midnight) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 / Xbox / PC | 60 fps | 8 GB | 10 GB |
| Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 | 30 fps (Switch) | 4 GB | 6 GB |
Those are KONAMI's figures. The Nintendo listing shows a smaller Switch download size, which reflects platform packaging rather than a different game.
Steam Deck
At the time of this check Valve had not given the game a Steam Deck compatibility rating, and early players reported stutter and low frame rates on the handheld. There is no official Deck status to point at, so treat Deck as unproven rather than verified — the free demo is the cheapest way to test it on your own device.
Game Pass and other subscriptions
Belmont's Curse is not on Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. Microsoft's own Game Pass account addressed the rumour directly and said there was no Game Pass news for the title, after a promotional roundup briefly suggested otherwise. It is not on PlayStation Plus or Nintendo Switch Online either; it is a paid purchase on every platform.
What is not confirmed
- A Switch 2 frame rate from KONAMI. Reported at 60 fps by outlets; not stated by the publisher.
- A Steam Deck rating. Not assigned at the time of this check.
- Any Switch-specific optimisation patch. None announced.

Platforms, frame rate and storage are KONAMI's own figures. The Switch 2 60 fps figure comes from outlet testing and is labelled as reported. The Game Pass position comes from Microsoft's own Game Pass account. Steam Deck is marked unproven because no official rating exists. Checked on October 16, 2026.
Checked on October 16, 2026 against KONAMI's official game site (product, character, demo and known-issues pages), the Steam store listing and the public Steam Web API endpoints for this app, and the PlayStation Store and Nintendo listings. KONAMI's own statements and store data are kept separate from third-party guides, which are labelled where they are used. Live figures such as review totals and aggregate scores are timestamped snapshots that keep moving. Anything no source states is written as unconfirmed rather than guessed.
Not independently play-tested. This is not a claim that every platform or game version was tested. Source review: Oct 16, 2026.
