Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is set to launch simultaneously on Nintendo's Switch 2, PC, PlayStation and Xbox. However, a detail has surfaced that could dampen the excitement surrounding the release. According to independent video game retailer Video Game Plus, the Switch 2 version of Modern Warfare 4 will be a code-in-box, meaning the physical version will only include a voucher to be redeemed once on the eShop, locking it to that account and preventing resales.
Video Game Plus stated that it will not be selling the Switch 2 version, emphasizing the importance of physical gaming. Activision has yet to officially confirm the format of the Switch 2 version, but the retailer awaits a response from the publisher. The report does not clarify whether physical copies for PlayStation and Xbox will include a disc.
Should the report be accurate, the absence of a physical disc or card would mark a significant shift from previous high-profile releases.
