  "account": "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is now available for pre-order on Nintendo's Switch 2 platform. The game, which will be released on October 23, will cost $69.99 for a physical copy on Best Buy and GameStop, and $69.99 for a digital copy on Nintendo eShop. However, unlike other consoles, physical copies of the game do not come with a game card. Instead, they contain a code that must be redeemed on the Nintendo eShop and downloaded to the Switch 2. This is due to the fact that Call of Duty games require over 100GB of storage, which far exceeds the 64GB capacity of Switch 2 game cards. To play online, a Nintendo Online subscription is required. Pre-ordering the game grants players access to the Hunter Killer Operator Skin and Gilded Pearl Camo Pack (2 weapon camos), or early access to the campaign in the digital edition.",
  "summary": "Preorders are live for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 – but physical copies are just a code in a box.",
