Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is already visible near the top of Nintendo Everything’s Nintendo Switch 2 eShop chart published on October 11, 2026. The standard edition appears in second place, while the Vault Edition is listed separately in sixth. Kingdom Hearts Collection 1–3 holds the top position. Nintendo Everything attributes Modern Warfare 4’s appearance to pre-loads, so the chart should not be mistaken for a report that the full game has launched.
Modern Warfare 4 reaches second place in the latest Switch 2 eShop chart before launch
Call of Duty’s standard edition appears at No. 2 and its Vault Edition at No. 6 in Nintendo Everything’s October 11 chart. Kingdom Hearts remains first.
What the chart actually measures
The same list puts Resident Evil 4 third, Dragon’s Dogma 2 fourth and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave fifth. Mario Kart World is eighth and Minecraft Dungeons 2 ninth. The report supplies positions rather than unit-sales figures. It therefore gives a snapshot of the listed eShop ranking, not a reliable basis for calculating how many copies Call of Duty has sold or declaring a global best-seller.
Activision’s official Modern Warfare 4 information identifies October 23, 2026 as the full release date. Its October 9 DMZ briefing also distinguishes two digital pre-order access dates: October 16 for Campaign and October 20 for DMZ, with platform availability and timing caveats. Those are separate from downloading files ahead of release. A pre-load, an early-access entitlement and the full launch are three different things.
Pre-load is not the same as playing early
Our take: this is interesting platform news, but a chart position is not a performance review. A high placement cannot tell you how a Switch 2 version looks, how stable its frame rate is or how well its controls suit your setup. Wait for actual platform-specific impressions if those factors determine whether you will buy.
Before choosing an edition, open the official listing for your region and compare what is included. Check download space, account requirements and any conditions attached to early access. Do not pay for a premium edition simply because a second entry appears in the chart: separate listings are a presentation detail, not proof that the extra content is right for you.
For MyFavoritePlay readers, the practical question remains what you want to play: a campaign, competitive matches or an extraction mode. Start with that preference, then check the corresponding official details. The new ranking shows attention around the Nintendo release; your own choice should still depend on the game and edition you intend to use.
