KitGuru Says: While some doubt Call of Duty might run on the Switch I do not see any motive why it could not. The Call of Duty engine is extremely scalable. If the Switch can run the Crysis trilogy, The Witcher 3, DOOM and Wolfenstein II, then I’m pretty assured a model of Call of Duty could be potential – it might probably require a decently-sized SD card although.
