Look Sports Media – The bombshell dropped at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is real, launching later this year on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PS4, and PC. However, a significant omission has sent shockwaves through the gaming community – the Nintendo Switch 2. This, despite Microsoft’s 10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo, announced in 2022 by Phil Spencer, following the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Spencer’s statement promised "full feature and content parity" with Xbox releases.
The absence of Black Ops 7 on the Switch 2 is particularly puzzling given the console’s capabilities and the reported commitment from Call of Duty developers. Eurogamer’s Victoria Phillips Kennedy cited an anonymous source stating, "We’re committed to getting the franchise [Call of Duty] on Switch. Both teams [are] working on it. Will share details when ready." This suggests a future Switch 2 release, possibly focusing on ports of future titles or the free-to-play Warzone.
The new console is certainly capable of handling a Call of Duty title, as demonstrated by various early tests. This begs the question: why the initial exclusion of Black Ops 7? Is it a technical hurdle, a strategic decision, or something else entirely? The mystery deepens.
