Nintendo Brings Switch 2 Playable Demos to Gamescom With Call of Duty and 007 on the Roster

The booth will give fans hands‑on access to high‑profile third‑party ports and could shape perception of Switch 2 performance and launch plans.

Overview

  • Nintendo has confirmed a Gamescom presence in Hall 9 that will offer playable Switch 2 demos, tournaments, photo opportunities, and other attendee activities.
  • Pocket Tactics reports that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be playable on Switch 2 at the show, which would be the first public demo of Infinity Ward’s game on Nintendo hardware, and the article says pre‑orders and a beta are expected to align with the event but those timing details are not independently confirmed.
  • IO Interactive has revealed a Nintendo console port of 007 First Light and its senior licensing producer, Theuns Smit, told reporters the Switch version is “in a really good spot.”
  • Nintendo’s Gamescom lineup also includes several third‑party and Nintendo titles such as Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, EA Sports FC 27, Splatoon Raiders, Pokémon Pokopia, Orbitals, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Minecraft Dungeons II.
  • The public demos let players and press judge how AAA ports run on Switch 2, a factor that could affect purchase decisions and shape publisher marketing windows ahead of the games’ wider launches.
