- It is currently unclear which records would make the jump
ONE Call of Duty the game may be set to come to the Nintendo Switch 2, according to a recent leak.
As noted by VGC, a leaker who goes by the handle ‘@realityuk’ has reportedly seen some references to Nintendo platforms in Call of Duty code.

According to their screenshot, the Nintendo references appear to appear alongside code for other major platforms such as Xbox and PlayStation.
Ubisoft Connect is also present on the list, which is probably the result of certain Activision titles, e.g. Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3becoming available via Ubisoft+ Premium streaming at the end of last year.
The leaker suggests that this means an announcement is “imminent” and should be expected as part of the next batch of Nintendo reveals.
It’s not clear which games, if any, are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, but the most obvious competitors would be Black Ops 7 and it’s free to play War zone battle royale.
An inevitable port?
Fresh claims about a potential Call of Duty The Nintendo Switch 2 port shouldn’t come as much of a surprise Microsoft and Nintendo entered into a binding ten-year legal agreement back in 2023.
At the time, Microsoft vice chairman and president Brad Smith promised that the company would bring Call of Duty game for Nintendo platforms.
The games would reportedly launch “on the same day as Xbox, with full feature and content parity” as part of a move towards “providing long-term equal access to Call of Duty to other gaming platforms”.
The announcement came in the shadow of an impending Federal Trade Commission (FTC) lawsuit against Microsoft, which claimed that the tech giant’s purchase of Call of Duty owner Activision Blizzard would violate US antitrust laws.
The case was eventually dropped by the FTC, with the $75.4 billion acquisition completed on October 13, 2023.
Although it is clear that Microsoft has missed the opportunity to bring Black Ops 7 for Nintendo Switch 2 “same day as Xbox”, the announcement of a port would still go some way to fulfilling that promise.
