Modern Warfare 4 on Switch 2 Is Not The Disaster You’d Imagine

Not since 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts launched on the Wii U has a mainline COD game appeared on a Nintendo console. 2026’s Modern Warfare 4 is breaking that 14-year dry spell by releasing on Switch 2, and I got to play a couple of missions from the campaign to see how it fares. I won’t lie, my expectations were low – Call of Duty is always on the cutting edge of graphics and performance, and Nintendo’s latest isn’t intentionally built for that. And yet, I came away pleasantly surprised by what Digital Legends, the Activision studio dedicated to this version of MW4, has achieved from a technical standpoint.

For my full review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 , I played on PC, which provided a useful benchmark for what the most ideal version of the game looks like. Of course, when placed side-by-side with the Switch 2 version, you’ll immediately notice the difference — it looks stunning on PC and runs like a dream, as you’d expect. But, shifting over to Switch 2 didn’t offend my eyes quite like I feared it would. Granted, the textures are nowhere near as detailed, with flat surfaces and faces smoothed over to give the impression of plasticine versions of the campaign’s characters. It's by no means a looker, but considering the reduced horsepower Nintendo’s latest console is working with, the gameplay itself was smooth, running at 30fps at 4K while docked. The campaign is locked at 30, while multiplayer will target 60.
