Activision scheduled Call of Duty: Warzone’s Nintendo Switch 2 debut for 12 a.m. ET on November 6, 2026, alongside Season 1. Its official announcement said the season’s start marked the launch; Nintendo Life and HardwarePremium reported on November 7 that Warzone was available to download from the Nintendo eShop.
If you’re planning the download, account for the reported 122 GB installation and have an Activision account ready.
Season 1 modes, by announced phase
Activision’s lineup separated the modes named for launch from two additions planned for mid-season:
| Season 1 phase | Modes named by Activision |
| Launch | Battle Royale, Battle Royale Casual, Resurgence, Resurgence Casual, Rally Point, Massive Resurgence, Loaded Resurgence |
| Mid-season | Extreme Resurgence, Rockets and Snipers |
The two mid-season modes were listed as later additions, not part of the launch lineup. Activision also named Hajin as the new Battle Royale map and Zodiac as the new Resurgence map in its Season 1 announcement.
Download and account details
Activision described Warzone as free-to-play. Nintendo Life and HardwarePremium reported that it could be downloaded separately from Modern Warfare 4 and required an Activision account to play. They described Warzone as separate from Modern Warfare 4’s single-player campaign, multiplayer and DMZ modes.
Both outlets reported a 122 GB installation on the system each checked. That figure describes their own installations, rather than a fixed size for every player.
