What Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4?

The Switch 2 version of Modern Warfare 4 includes the full game that you’d get on PS5 or Xbox Series X. It has the Korea-based campaign and the multiplayer modes — including the extraction-focused DMZ mode — though it’s worth noting that you’ll need a Nintendo Online subscription to play online.

Per Activision's official website, here's the description for the campaign: "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."

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
