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

IO has acknowledged the performance issues on Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition that have mired its release as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title.

As one of a few third-party releases that was supposed to showcase the new console’s ability to run graphically intensive current-gen titles, the port has been criticized for its many technical issues. In our impressions, we noted that its uncapped frame rate resulted in “uneven” performance that “fluctuates wildly,” surprisingly mitigated in handheld mode due to the display supporting built-in Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).

Speaking in a VGC interview, IO’s franchise director Jonathan Lacaille has addressed these issues, saying, “The team is working on some of those performance issues right now, and they are addressing it over the summer.” A specific date for when exactly these fixes will go live is not yet known.

Lacaille also took the opportunity to assuage doubts over 007 First Light, which is also being developed for Switch 2 alongside the other, more powerful platforms.

“It’s, of course, good learning for us to bring to First Light as well–so all of this will be learnings we bring to the next title.”

The Hitman series has previously come to Switch 1 with a cloud version of Hitman 3, as well as a port of older title Hitman: Blood Money, but Lacaille assures that “the Switch 2 is a powerful device–powerful enough for us to bring First Light to it natively.”

The Switch 2 version of Hitman: World of Assassination isn’t the only recent IO release plagued with technical issues. The company also published MindsEye from developer Build A Rocket Boy, and it’s one of the worst-reviewed games of the year, with performance issues so bad that PS5 players were getting refunds from the PlayStation Store.
