Switch 2 owners can now jump into Call of Duty: Warzone without paying a penny. You don’t even need Modern Warfare 4. It’s sitting on the eShop as a free download, live since Season 1 kicked off on November 6.
That season also folds Modern Warfare 4 fully into Warzone. Activision says the Switch 2 version gets the same features and seasonal content as every other platform. That includes the new Hajin battle royale map set in South Korea, the Zodiac Resurgence map and all other playlists. Progress is tied to your Activision account.
PS4 and Xbox One players are on the losing end. Warzone has stopped running on both consoles, though you can carry your progress to any supported platform by logging in with the same account.
Performance is still unclear
Activision hasn’t shared resolution or frame rate targets for Warzone on Switch 2. Modern Warfare 4’s multiplayer reportedly aims for 60 FPS when docked, using a fairly low base resolution and upscaling. Warzone’s bigger maps and player counts will probably be harder to run.
I’d hold off on making it your main platform until proper performance tests land. Free is nice, but a slideshow is still a slideshow.
