## Key points

- Switch 2 multiplayer latency is higher than PS5’s.
- Portable mode averaged 100ms, versus 49ms on PS5.
- Multiplayer mostly runs at 60fps; the campaign is capped at 30fps.

## Summary

Digital Foundry found that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has substantially higher input lag on Switch 2 than on PS5, which could make multiplayer less responsive for Nintendo players. The findings highlight a performance trade-off in the series’ return to Nintendo hardware after 13 years.

Measured multiplayer latency was 81ms on a docked Switch 2 and averaged 100ms in portable mode, compared with 49ms on PS5. Portable results ranged from 83ms to 125ms; testing used wireless controllers on both consoles. The port otherwise runs multiplayer at mostly 60fps, while its campaign is capped at 30fps, with dynamic resolution that can fall below its 900p docked and 720p portable targets.
