Modern Warfare 4 Switch 2 Input Lag Worse Than PS5, Hurting Multiplayer

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2 suffers from significantly higher input lag compared to the PlayStation 5 version, according to performance analysis. This discrepancy means actions like aiming and firing register later on Nintendo's hybrid console, putting Switch 2 players at a clear disadvantage in fast-paced multiplayer matches. Input lag, the delay between pressing a button and seeing the result on screen, is critical in competitive shooters where split-second reactions decide gunfights. While the Switch 2 can run the game, the lag undermines the experience for those hoping to compete cross-platform. The PS5 benefits from more powerful hardware and a higher refresh rate pipeline, reducing latency. For Nintendo fans eager to join the latest Call of Duty, this performance gap could push serious players toward other platforms. Activision has not yet commented on potential patches to address the issue. Until then, Switch 2 owners may want to stick to casual modes or expect a tougher time online.
