Call of Duty: Warzone has arrived for free on the Nintendo Switch 2. The battle royale is available to download from the eShop and does not require purchasing Modern Warfare 4 to play.
What players get
The launch coincides with the start of Season 1, which adds the large Hajin map (in Korea) and the Resurgence map Zodiac. Players also get access to Verdansk and other playlists. Progression is shared via an Activision account. The file size reaches about 122 GB.
Platform context
This is the first time Warzone has reached a Nintendo console. The series had returned to Nintendo with Modern Warfare 4. At the same time, Warzone support on PS4 and Xbox One ended on November 6. The Switch 2 version receives the same seasonal content as other platforms, although reports note visual and performance differences in handheld mode.
Why this matters
The free arrival expands the battle royale audience to the Switch 2 and marks an important step in Call of Duty’s presence on Nintendo. Players who already have an Activision account can continue their progress on any supported platform.
