The Competition and Markets Authority in the UK says it has "seen no evidence" to suggest that Call of Duty can run well on Nintendo Switch.
On April 26, the CMA blocked Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard and published its final report on the acquisition. In its findings, the CMA discussed Microsoft's deal to put Call of Duty on Nintendo consoles for 10 years - once again reiterating everyone's concerns about how well the FPS game would actually run on the Nintendo Switch.
In the final report (opens in new tab), the CMA writes: "CoD is currently available on two gaming consoles – Xbox and PlayStation. We found that these consoles compete closely with each other in terms of content, target audience, and console technology."
No no no. Microsoft said they could do it and with parity to the consoles. If they say it can be done, it obviously can, even though ABK hasn't seen any point in investing in getting CoD onto the Switch at all.

It wouldn't be for the Switch. It would be running on the next system that's launching next year. Regardless, the CMA is made up of people who don't understand game development. How would they know whether something can run or not? They've gotten both COD Mobile and COD Warzone running on phones that have dozens of apps running in the background sucking up resources.
