While PlayStation, Xbox, and Activision tried to hash out a way to keep everyone happy where Call of Duty was concerned, there was also talk of bringing CoD to the Nintendo Switch—the Switch 2, in this case.

According to Ethan Gach of Kotaku, Call of Duty is coming to the Switch 2 soon.
“Sources tell Kotaku both Microsoft and Nintendo are still working on getting Call of Duty on the latter’s hardware and will announce something in the future,” said the report.
