Input Lag Is So Bad in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on Nintendo Switch 2 That Players Suffer From a 'Competitive Disadvantage'

If you’re playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on Nintendo Switch 2, beware: you’re at a disadvantage in competitive Multiplayer due to crushing input lag that is much worse than the other platforms.

Digital Foundry’s analysis of the performance of the Switch 2 version of Modern Warfare 4 — the first Call of Duty released on a Nintendo console since 2013’s Ghosts — found that the input lag on Switch 2 can be two times longer than on PS5 at 60fps.

In competitive Multiplayer, Switch 2 aims for 60fps and, according to DF, hits that target most of the time (although some things do cause the frame rate to drop, including looking through the transparent visor of a riot shield).

Call of Duty Multiplayer prides itself on rock solid 60fps gameplay, which provides a smooth, responsive experience for those who fuss over their K/D ratio in, for example, 6v6. It’s crucial that all platforms the game is available on offer at least 60fps to provide a level playing field for Multiplayer fans — although the debate about the advantage PC players have over console has dogged Call of Duty since the dawn of crossplay.

DF reports that Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support “helps smooth out” framerate drops on supported displays, although you’ll have a harder time of it in terms of performance playing through portable mode.

And then we come to responsiveness. 1. In fact, DF found that Multiplayer in portable mode ranged from 83ms at best to 125ms at worst.
