Microsoft and Nintendo have agreed to terms to put Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms for the next 10 years if Microsoft’s bid to buy Activision Blizzard goes through. But actually getting Call of Duty to run on the relatively less powerful Switch? That might not be so easy, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has said.
Speaking to The New York Times, Spencer said there was “definitely work” to be done to make a Call of Duty game perform well on Switch.
In a separate interview with The Washington Post, Spencer said if Microsoft’s deal to buy Activision Blizzard goes through, the Call of Duty series might not show up on a Nintendo system for some time. It would “likely take a little bit of time” to release a Call of Duty game on a Nintendo system, Spencer said, though he did not say anything about which existing or future Call of Duty game could come to Switch.
