Microsoft is "confident" that Call of Duty Switch performance will be feasible.

Microsoft recently responded to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority, expressing their confidence in the technological performance of Call of Duty Switch after signing a ten-year deal with Nintendo to bring the critically acclaimed franchise to the hybrid platform.

"We are certain that, aside from Warzone, CoD buy-to-play games (like CoD: Modern Warfare 2) can be optimised to run on the Nintendo Switch in a timely manner using standard techniques which have been used to bring games like Apex Legends, DOOM Eternal, Fortnite, and Crysis 3 to the Switch," according to Microsoft.

The Xbox One console, which was introduced in 2015, and the Xbox Series X are only a few of the hardware platforms that Warzone is optimised to operate on. Microsoft provides more justifications for this. That one seems reasonable enough.

The statement "Warzone supports PC hardware with GPU cards that were released as far back as 2015 (i.e., prior to the release of Nintendo Switch in 2017)" is a little bit of a stretch. We all know, I believe, that there is no power hierarchy merely because the Switch was released after certain GPUs.

Indeed, the "Activision development team have a long history of optimising game performance for available hardware capabilities," as Microsoft claims, is a testament to their skill. Of course, a large team like Activision can successfully port Call of Duty to the Switch. An estimated time frame of about [] months is provided by Activision. However, it should be noted that this chronology has been suppressed.

All of this, however, follows Microsoft President Brad Smith's statement that, when questioned about the game's potential performance on the Switch or Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming service, he is "not the right person to dive into the architecture of each platform."

Smith says, "We will ensure our games work exactly the way people would expect," despite the fact that he is not an expert. This is a risky phrase because, let's face it, none of us really expected a major Call of Duty game to run very well on Nintendo's tenacious little handheld.
