Call of Duty Could Soon Be Coming to Nintendo Switch Thanks to New Deal

Microsoft announced some very unexpected news this week, with Phil Spencer revealing the company has reached a 10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms.

Phil Spencer shared a statement in a post on Twitter stating that “Microsoft is committed to helping bring more games to more people – however they choose to play.”

This is all assuming that the Activision Blizzard and Microsoft merger goes through, which was announced earlier in the year.

Spencer recently did an interview with The Washington Post, where he said “You can imagine if [the deal] closed on that date, starting to do development work to make that happen would likely take a little bit of time. Once we get into the rhythm of this, our plan would be that when [a Call of Duty game] launches on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, that it would also be available on Nintendo at the same time.”

Of course, this news has sparked many fans to question just how well the Nintendo Switch would be able to run the first-person shooting game, but only time will tell on that front. Spencer did state how Xbox has a lot of experience shipping and supporting game across all systems.

“We would do this with Minecraft as well, where we would do specific work to make the game run well on Nintendo Switch and their silicon and support their platform completely. We do the same when we ship on PlayStation 5.”

“Minecraft and Call of Duty are different games. But from how you get games onto Nintendo, how you run a development team that is targeting multiple platforms, that’s experience we have.”
