Call of Duty: Warzone is now available as a free download on Nintendo Switch 2 through the Nintendo eShop. The release coincides with Season 1 and brings the battle royale to Nintendo's handheld system for the first time.
Players need an Activision account to play.
Hajin and Zodiac lead the launch lineup
The Switch 2 release includes Season 1's maps and playlists, with two new locations built for different modes:
- Hajin: The large Battle Royale map spans North and South Korea across 13 major points of interest. Locations include Hajin City's fortified districts, Imjin Farmland, and Chang-san Air Base. Localized weather, including fog, wind, and rain, changes visibility between matches.
- Zodiac: The compact Resurgence map centers on the DRC Advanced Systems drone factory headquarters in South Korea. Its 10 points of interest connect factory interiors, rooftops, underground tunnels, and coastline.
Hajin joins Warzone on Switch 2
Battle Royale and Resurgence both have Casual variants at launch. The limited-time lineup also includes Massive Resurgence, supporting up to 120 players on Hajin, and Loaded Resurgence, where players keep their loadout after death.
The 20-player Rally Point mode on Zodiac is built as a training ground, making it a practical place to learn the basics alongside our Call of Duty: Warzone guides.
Season 1 also adds all 33 Modern Warfare 4 launch weapons to Warzone. Tactical Sprint becomes available to every Operator without a Perk, though its duration is slightly shorter, and players can drag teammates while reviving them.
Moving from an older console
Season 1 also ends Warzone support on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Players on those consoles need supported hardware to continue playing.
Progress can carry over when players sign in with the same Activision account. Anyone moving to Switch 2 should use their existing account to keep that progress.
