Granted, Microsoft said it would do this, but hearing it and seeing it are two different things. The game in question is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, and the Nintendo platform is the Switch 2. You can preorder it now at Best Buy. It costs $69.99 and is out on October 23. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (Swit\">Preorder Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (Switch 2)<\/h2>\n<div id=\"241886\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"241886\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (Switch 2)\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-for-switch-2-is-up-for-preorder.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"product-badge jsx-3056253127 jsx-1233459104\">\n<p>Out October 23<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (Switch 2)<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"solo-product-description\" class=\"description SoloProduct_description__emO_M\">\n<div data-cy=\"article-subtitle\" class=\"article jsx-3932497636 small\">\n<p>Code in a box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Physical<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Digital<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">However, it\u2019s definitely worth noting that physical copies of the game do not come on a game card. It\u2019s not even a Game-Key Card. <strong>This is just a code in a box<\/strong>. So you\u2019ll have the box to put on your shelf, but you\u2019ll still have to redeem the game code on the Nintendo eShop and download the game to your Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Before you grab your pitchfork and torching every building in your neighborhood, it should be noted that there\u2019s no way Modern Warfare 4 would fit on a Switch 2 game card. Currently, these carts can hold up to 64GB of storage. Call of Duty games are notorious for taking up well over 100GB of storage, depending on what modes you have installed. There\u2019s a whole Call of Duty game launcher app that lets you pick and choose what parts you want downloaded on your system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"Preorder bonuses\">Preorder Bonuses<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-for-switch-2-is-up-for-preorder.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Preorder the game, and you\u2019ll receive the following in-game items:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Hunter Killer Operator Skin<\/li>\n<li>Gilded Pearl Camo Pack (2 weapon camos)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Preorder the digital edition, and you\u2019ll get the items listed above, plus early access to the campaign, starting October 16.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"What is this game?\">What Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4?<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Switch 2 version of Modern Warfare 4 includes the full game that you\u2019d get on PS5 or Xbox Series X. It has the Korea-based campaign and the multiplayer modes \u2014 including the extraction-focused DMZ mode \u2014 though it\u2019s worth noting that you\u2019ll need a Nintendo Online subscription to play online. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Per Activision&#8217;s official website, here&#8217;s the description for the campaign: &#8220;War erupts on the Korean Peninsula as North Korea launches a full-scale invasion that threatens to destabilize the world. A young squad of South Korean soldiers fight to survive on the collapsing front lines, while half a world away a vengeful Captain Price wages a personal war from the shadows as he stays one step ahead of those hunting him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This is the first Call of Duty game to release on a Nintendo platform since Call of Duty: Ghosts landed on Wii U in 2013. In related news, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta will be free on Switch 2 this weekend. Playing can earn you some Beta rewards, including things like emblems and skins.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\" data-toc-title=\"More preorder guides\">Other Preorder Guides<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Chris Reed is a senior commerce editor and deals expert for IGN.
