PSA: Modern Warfare 4's Switch 2 Retail Version Is Apparently A Code-In-A-Box
Key Points:
- Activision will release Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 for the Switch 2 as a "code-in-box" retail version, meaning the physical box will only contain a download code rather than the game cartridge.
- This distribution method reflects the growing file sizes and digital management of Call of Duty titles, which are typically handled through a dedicated game launcher on other platforms.
- The Switch 2 version will be the first Call of Duty game on a Nintendo platform in 13 years, featuring both campaign and multiplayer modes with regular updates planned for multiplayer.
- Details on the exact installation and file management process for the Switch 2 version have not been officially disclosed, but early access players currently download and launch the beta directly.
- The game is scheduled for release in October, and further updates about the retail version will be provided as they become available.
