IO Acknowledges Hitman Performance Issues On Switch 2, Promises Fixes Are Coming
Briefly

IO has recognized that Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition has performance issues that hinder its Nintendo Switch 2 launch. Criticisms focus on technical flaws, particularly an uncapped frame rate causing significant performance fluctuations. However, handheld mode shows some mitigation due to the monitor’s Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). Jonathan Lacaille noted that the team is actively working to rectify these issues, with plans for fixes during the summer. He also expressed confidence in the Switch 2's capabilities concerning future titles like 007 First Light.
IO has acknowledged the performance issues on Hitman: World of Assassination - Signature Edition that have affected its release as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title.
The uncapped frame rate resulted in "uneven" performance that "fluctuates wildly," which was surprisingly mitigated in handheld mode due to VRR.
Jonathan Lacaille stated, "The team is working on some of those performance issues right now, and they are addressing it over the summer."
Lacaille assures that "the Switch 2 is a powerful device--powerful enough for us to bring First Light to it natively."
