First Switch 2 Gameplay Surfaces for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4

The clip gives the first look at how Modern Warfare 4 may run on Nintendo’s new hardware.

Overview

  • Footage that surfaced Aug. 21 showed a 15-minute docked Switch 2 clip of Modern Warfare 4 running both a campaign mission and multiplayer sequences.
  • Early impressions report the Switch 2 build targets about 60 frames per second with occasional frame dips during intense scenes, but those observations are preliminary pending formal testing.
  • The game is scheduled to arrive Oct. 23, 2026, and publisher testing includes staged beta windows designed to stress cross-platform performance and deliver a playable campaign mission to testers.
  • The campaign depicts a full-scale North Korean invasion following South Korean soldiers and Captain Price, while multiplayer emphasizes grounded, precise combat and a DMZ mode built around contested extraction choices.
  • This release marks Call of Duty’s first appearance on a Nintendo platform since 2013’s Ghosts, a return that broadens platform support but leaves final performance and feature parity to be confirmed in the upcoming betas.
