Following an investigation from Digital Foundry, it seems that Hitman World of Assassination has a hidden “performance mode” of sorts that many are probably unaware of.
It turns out that the game’s rendering resolution and performance changes according to how Nintendo Switch 2’s front-end menus are set. Depending on that, players could experience up to a 62.5 percent performance increase.
Hitman World of Assassination review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 11 months ago by Edan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: IO Interactive
Publisher: IO Interactive
The slick, noir-ish montage FMV that plays at the beginning of Hitman World of Assassination’s campaign is an incredibly confident thing. Like any decent introduction it sets out the tonal blueprint of the game you’re about to play – but in Hitman’s case, it does so much more besides. Originally released in 2016, the first entry in IO Interactive’s soft reboot of the franchise was a course correction of sorts, meant to put the developer back on track both creatively and financially. As the cinematic medley plays out, you’re taken on a whistle-stop tour of the past series’ most impactful missions and moments. It’s a definitive statement of intent from IO Interactive, and one that melts away past criticisms over the course of its 2 minute and 22 second runtime. As the artful collage builds to its apex, there’s a subtle – if slightly brazen – feeling that IO Interactive is in no small way hinting that the best is yet to come.
Hitman was brought to Switch 2 since IO “felt there was unfinished business”, Hitman 3 Cloud Version “wasn’t as successful as Nintendo had expected”

In making the decision to bring Hitman World of Assassination to Nintendo Switch 2, IO Interactive felt like it had “unfinished business”.
You may recall that at the start of 2021, Hitman 3 Cloud Version launched on the original Nintendo Switch. There was a push at the time to release games that wouldn’t normally be possible on the console via the cloud. At least in the case of Hitman 3, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak said that it “wasn’t as successful as Nintendo had expected.” Now with Nintendo Switch 2, fans can play Hitman World of Assassination “in a proper way”.
