Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 might be coming to Nintendo Switch after all

Back in 2023 as part of its effort to get the acquisition of Activision approved, Microsoft signed legally binding agreements with a number of rival game companies to ensure continued equal access to Call of Duty across all major platforms. Microsoft has made good on those promises for the most part, but we've yet to see COD return to Nintendo consoles. According to new reports, that could change within the next few months. 

According to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft has been working on the Nintendo Switch version for Call of Duty for a long time now, and the first release should be launching “in a few months”.

If this is accurate, then that would make Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 the first COD title since Call of Duty Ghosts to release on a Nintendo console. We also anticipate that Call of Duty will only be coming to the newer Switch 2 system and not the original Switch console.

Prior to this rumour, fans expected this year's Call of Duty to skip Nintendo's platform again. Microsoft has not yet made any official announcements, but there will be an Xbox Games Showcase in January, so we may get an announcement then. Hopefully future titles, like COD 2026, release on the Switch 2 at the same time as other platforms.

KitGuru Says: The Switch 2 has limited internal storage space, so hopefully the developers will be looking at ways to optimise the install size of the game.
