Microsoft and Nintendo have negotiated a historic agreement promising to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms.
A historic long-term legal agreement between Nintendo and Microsoft has been struck to bring Call of Duty back to Nintendo consoles
Microsoft’s Vice Chair and President Brad Smith said a “binding 10-year legal agreement” was announced between Microsoft and Nintendo, promising to bring the Call of Duty franchise to Nintendo Switch players.
According to Microsoft’s announcement (opens in new tab), Call of Duty will be brought to Nintendo players “the same day as Xbox, with full feature and content parity – so they can experience Call of Duty just as Xbox and PlayStation gamers enjoy [the series]. We are committed to providing long-term equal access to Call of Duty to other gaming platforms.”
This has huge ramifications for the gaming industry as a whole, as well as Nintendo Switch owners. There’s not been a Call of Duty game on a Nintendo console since Call of Duty: Ghosts back in 2013.
