Microsoft Xbox has recently acquired Activision Blizzard for $75 billion, reportedly making it the biggest deal in video game history. While the deal had some roadblocks put in front of it by the FTC, in the end, the court rules in favor of this deal. Now Xbox has full control over the series made by Activision, namely, Call of Duty, Overwatch, Diablo, and many more.

The Xbox makers have taken advantage of this control and signed a 10-year deal with Sony for Call of Duty. This has led to industry pundits speculating about the appearance of COD titles on Nintendo Switch soon.

Will the Call of Duty titles be making an appearance on Nintendo Switch?

Back in 2022, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer confirmed that future Call of Duty titles will be coming to Switch, post-acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. Now that the deal has been fulfilled, Microsoft may launch Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and future COD titles on Switch. But some Switch fans are wondering about getting the older COD titles too.

During the proceedings of the FTC vs Microsoft case, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick made a shocking confession. He stated that not bringing Call of Duty to Nintendo Switch was a wasted opportunity.

Bobby Kotick’s judgment on the Nintendo Switch console

“I made a bad judgment,” he said, “When I had seen the prototype of the Switch, it was different than when I saw the prototype of the Wii. I thought it was the most extraordinary video game system ever created.” But Kotick did not release the game on Switch as he feared the console will be a flop. Proving Kotick wrong, the console is currently the third-highest best-selling console of all time. And with the recent acquisition by Microsoft, Call of Duty devs have a clean slate to try once more.

To test the waters, Activision can remaster the older COD titles and release them on Nintendo Switch. This will help them grasp the audience they will be targeting for future COD releases. Furthermore, with PlayStation dominantly leading the sales charts, it will be beneficial for Xbox and Nintendo to reach a deal on COD titles.

However, both parties are yet to confirm that older COD titles will come to Switch consoles. What are your thoughts on older Call of Duty titles probably making an appearance on Nintendo Switch? Let us know in the comments section below.
