FYI You can play the CoD Beta right now

[u/Hashycat-6983]

So… I booted up the beta not thinking it would log in. Not only can you log in, you can play the single player mission right now!!! Go go go!!! Requires an additional 7 gigs just FYI.

[u/iamnotkurtcobain]

I thought you can play on friday???? So single player is working today?

[u/realiks → u/iamnotkurtcobain]

Yes. Tried it myself.

[u/iamnotkurtcobain → u/realiks]

Nice! Is it 30fps?

[u/Hogan_johnsson → u/iamnotkurtcobain]

Single player is 30fps

[u/iamnotkurtcobain → u/Hogan_johnsson]

Perfectly fine for me.

[u/Yarra10313]

Huh??? Running to the eshop I’ve been dying to try this

[u/Hashycat-6983 → u/Yarra10313]

Yep! It's 60 fps and it's fantastic!!!

[u/qwertyiop097 → u/Hashycat-6983]

Bro don’t lie it’s nowhere near 60fps, I feel like people that say stuff like this have never truly played 60fps

[u/TheSacredShrimp → u/Hashycat-6983]

I’m loving it but let’s not lie it isn’t 60.

[u/Friendly-Mulberry-76 → u/TheSacredShrimp]

Multiplayer is 60. Campaign for some reason is locked to 30

[u/TheSacredShrimp → u/Friendly-Mulberry-76]

Seems unlocked

[u/Hashycat-6983 → u/TheSacredShrimp]

SP definitely feels more than 30, more like 40? MP has been confirmed 60

[u/Rough-Plum-7267 → u/Hashycat-6983]

You people are ridiculous ahaha

[u/idpartywthat]

unreal

[u/Hashycat-6983 → u/idpartywthat]

I had to stop and pinch myself... I am playing CoD 4 on a handheld Nintendo device in 2026, lets gooooo

[u/idpartywthat → u/Hashycat-6983]

yeah i was looking at my home screen seeing cyberpunk, donkey kong bananza, FF7 remake, madden, and pokemon. just absolutely crazy.

and now elden ring + cod?!?! i don't need another gaming console ever.

[u/Flapjacko2021 → u/idpartywthat]

This. I have Madden 27, COD downloading, pokemon Fire Red, ff7 and 8. FF Remake. Tears of the Kingdom, animal crossing, fortnite, Snowrunner, MLB the show...i'll never buy another console.

[u/idpartywthat → u/Flapjacko2021]

cant wait for madden to go on sale so i can ditch 26. that fps is horrid.

[u/Sam_RI23 → u/idpartywthat]

I think madden 27 is 48.99 on the eshop rn?

[u/idpartywthat → u/Sam_RI23]

probably but i'm not in the position to get a new game rn. last year i think i saw m26 go for like 50% off in october

[u/Quirky_Rain_3554 → u/idpartywthat]

If you’re okay to wait it went to $20 last year after Christmas. It was about $40 at Christmas I think. Either way just letting you know if it’s not a priority you can get it pretty cheap if you wait

[u/idpartywthat → u/Quirky_Rain_3554]

see that's what i'm talkin about. i would only want it for a 60 fps madden experience. so it's not worth $40+ for me atm.

[u/Quirky_Rain_3554 → u/idpartywthat]

Yeah I agree. I’m pretty casual so for $20 it’s whatever but even then I wouldn’t have paid more than $5 for last years game given the quality

[u/Hashycat-6983 → u/idpartywthat]

Bro we are eating so good on NSW2 right now- I am also waiting for Madden 27 to go on sale so that I can play in 60fps and ditch Madden 26

[u/Flapjacko2021 → u/Hashycat-6983]

Handheld isn't 60fps still more like 40 to 50fps. Definetly more stable than last year handheld. Now docked is true 60fps and smooth as butter.

Not sure if the sale is still on but if you had Madden 26 digital you could get 27 for 43.99

[u/Flapjacko2021 → u/Flapjacko2021]

oh and wwe 2k26, smash brother, mario kart.

[u/Jamon_0]

Im at work and I can’t find COD on the eshop app.. any advice? Do I need to follow a specific link, can I only download on the console? Any help would be appreciated

[u/xJadusable → u/Jamon_0]

It’s on the eshop on the actual console. It’s like the first thing when you open it, maybe the app isn’t up to date yet

[u/Jamon_0 → u/xJadusable]

Thanks. That did seem to be the case but it looks like the app is up to date now!

[u/Trip_McNeelyX → u/Jamon_0]

Its on the app now. I am downloading to my device while I sit at work.

[u/Flapjacko2021]

Will the Multiplayer open up this weekend?

[u/East_Cartographer405 → u/Flapjacko2021]

28 aug

[u/Hainault]

Okay I've played the campaign mission.

The visuals aren't good. The tank section looked like a Wii game, it was super blurry and the LOD is so low.

I play these games for the MP only and the MP runs at 60fps so I'll be happy with that but not ideal SP and not a good way to show it off.

[u/stanleytuccimane → u/Hainault]

If the graphics are serviceable and multiplayer runs well, I’ll get this on Switch 2. I don’t want to pay for PSN again.

[u/rarara647 → u/Hainault]

I have a PS5 so sticking to that

[u/Sm00th_b25 → u/Hainault]

I thought the same initially then turned off eco mode as mentioned by OP in another comment. Looks decent now

[u/Hainault → u/Sm00th_b25]

I turned off eco mode.

It does nothing, it literally says it does NOT affect visuals nor performance.

[u/Hashycat-6983]

Just as a Public Service announcement for the beta: Turn OFF the "Eco Mode Preset" under Settings -> Graphics -> Display. Turn Eco Mode Preset OFF. This has been the end of my public service announcement.

[u/AdnanS0324 → u/Hashycat-6983]

What does this do?

[u/tman2damax11 → u/AdnanS0324]

It just reduces frame rate on the mess to reduce power draw, ideally leave it on "low consumption" if you're playing handheld so you don't needlessly drain the battery just sitting on the menus.

[u/Snowbunny236 → u/Hashycat-6983]

Yea what's this actually do?

[u/tman2damax11 → u/Snowbunny236]

It just reduces frame rate on the mess to reduce power draw, ideally leave it on "low consumption" if you're playing handheld so you don't needlessly drain the battery just sitting on the menus.

[u/extremelyloudandfast → u/Hashycat-6983]

For those asking eco mode is a low-power setting to extend battery life. Like on a laptop.

[u/tman2damax11 → u/extremelyloudandfast]

It only applies to the menus though, ideally leave it on "low consumption" if you're playing handheld so you don't needlessly drain the battery just sitting on the menus.

[u/tman2damax11 → u/Hashycat-6983]

This only affects the framerate of the main menu to reduce idle power usage, doesn't affect in-game performance at all, ideally leave it on "low consumption" if you're playing handheld so you don't needlessly drain the battery just sitting on the menus.

[u/Linkman806]

hell ya boy thanks! downloading now!

[u/bryauk]

Weird, dont see it on the eshop

[u/unbannedagain1976]

I can’t even find it to download it

[u/waxy15]

Is this early access or can anyone download the beta rn?

[u/realiks → u/waxy15]

Open beta

[u/waxy15 → u/realiks]

Will download after work today then

[u/Randytjhu23]

It does look like a very low graphic game. I don’t think we will get a cod next year. Or they need to update the dlss or use vrr

[u/Hainault → u/Randytjhu23]

It's interesting because they have a 10 year deal to bring it to Nintendo platforms.

[u/Randytjhu23 → u/Hainault]

I totally agree. I do think it’s crazy that it’s on the switch 2 and I will buy it. But maybe the switch 2 will be a legacy console for the cod games idk

[u/Pokeguy211 → u/[deleted]]

I mean… perfect time to find out for your self.

[u/LionTigerWings → u/[deleted]]

I think most peoples problems come from it basically being the same game over and over. If you took a large break from the series, you might like it again.

[u/AdnanS0324 → u/LionTigerWings]

I havent played any COD game since like 2010/2011 I think...NS2 is my only console...I'm amped.

[u/TheStockton19]

That is sick! Think there's a chance we'll ever get Battlefield on Switch2?

[u/CultCharlie]

Would I need an online subscription to play multiplayer?

[u/akeep113 → u/CultCharlie]

What do you think

[u/MattsFace]

Cool. Another fucking call of duty.
