Infinity Ward, the studio behind the Call of Duty franchise, has offered an unusually candid and positive update on bringing the series to Nintendo's next console. In a recent interview, a studio representative stated that getting a version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 running on the upcoming Switch 2 was a surprisingly straightforward process.

"There were no problems to report," the Infinity Ward lead said, describing the development experience as "pretty smooth." The statement marks a sharp contrast to the often-cited technical hurdles of porting modern AAA shooters to less powerful hardware. The studio boss added that "it's exciting to be back on a Nintendo platform," referencing the series' brief and limited appearances on older Nintendo systems like the GameCube and Wii.

While specific technical details were not shared, the comment suggests that Nintendo's next-generation hardware is capable of handling the demands of a modern Call of Duty engine without the severe compromises seen in previous Switch ports. The news will likely be welcomed by fans who have long requested a proper, feature-complete Call of Duty experience on a portable Nintendo device. No release window or specific features for the Switch 2 version have been announced, but the development team's confidence points to a smoother launch than many had anticipated.
