Last December, Microsoft made a “10-year commitment” to bring the Call of Duty series to Nintendo platforms if its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard goes through.
There have been many questions about whether the series could even run on Nintendo hardware, and now during the current ‘FTC vs. Microsoft’ court battle, Team Xbox has shed some light on what fans can expect.
According to Microsoft head of games and Xbox Phil Spencer (via CharlieIntel), Call of Duty on Switch might perform “relatively well compared to other Switch games,” but admits it won’t compare to the performance of the Xbox version.
Head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty, during his own testimonyhe also mentioned that Call of Duty would definitely work on Switch as long as the development team adjusts the “graphics and assets” as well as the frame rate.
Phil Spencer previously mentioned that Microsoft wanted to bring “the absolute best version of Call of Duty” to all platforms, and the UK CMA document mentioned that Xbox was “confident” that Activision could optimize the series to launch on Switch.
