The campaign frame rate is mostly stable, with drops during the Paris shootout, while multiplayer can dip into the 40s at points. Docked resolution is dynamic 900p with DLSS, dropping to 450p in the worst cases, and handheld mode runs at a dynamic 720p baseline with lows of 360p.

According to Activision, Nintendo is "all in" on Call of Duty for Switch 2.
