Microsoft tells UK regulatory body it's 'confident' Call of Duty can be optimised to run on Switch
published last month, the CMA said it was unable to place"material weight" on Microsoft's agreement when considering the proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition, as there was"no certainty [the deal would] lead to CoD becoming available on Nintendo". Elaborating further, it highlighted the"technical limitations" that"would need to be overcome for Call of Duty to become available for Nintendo Switch.
The company added,"The Activision development team have a long history of optimising game performance for available hardware capabilities", and that"the Parties are confident that in addition to Warzone, CoD buy-to-play titles can be optimised to run on the Nintendo Switch in a timely manner using standard techniques which have been used to bring games such as Apex Legends, Doom Eternal, Fortnite and Crysis 3 to the Switch.
The CMA's final ruling on Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is set to be published on 26th April, a day after the deadline set by European regulators.
