HITMAN World of Assassination is a great game that can finally be properly enjoyed on a Nintendo console. Hundreds of hours of gameplay are spent on staying connected to the internet and suffering through a few minor bugs that, in theory, are already being addressed. It's definitely a title worth checking out; perhaps this way, even the most skeptical will understand why Agent 47 is a gaming legend.

Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition packs immense replayability and extensive content into Nintendo Switch 2, delivering a superb handheld experience. However, technical shortcomings, particularly frame rate inconsistencies in docked mode, slightly tarnish an otherwise exceptional collection. A definitive edition for both newcomers and longtime fans.

Despite some issues, it’s fantastic to see HITMAN World of Assassination available on the Switch 2. This release would simply not have been possible on the original Switch and is an excellent example of what its successor can offer. These are wonderful games and while this may not be the best version of them, their flaws are easily overlooked if this is the only way you have to play these games or if you really want to play them on a portable. That said, if the plan is to play mostly on your TV, I’d consider any of the other systems you can play these games on first.

You can decide for yourself whether you want to complete the missions aggressively or defensively. There are several different solutions, but in general it takes a lot of time and patience to complete the missions. I’m almost inclined to say that the levels are too large, because it really takes a lot of time to investigate the different areas and find the things you need.

As of Sept 2025 -- It's got a ton of content and great classic Hitman gameplay. The problem is frequent crashes. It throws me off my groove, especially when you've set up the perfect assassination over the course of 20+ minutes. If they fix it, it's easily an 8... maybe a 9 due to the amount of content.

Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition su Nintendo Switch 2 è la più completa raccolta di contenuti che un fan del genere possa chiedere: include i tre giochi principali, 22 scenari, modalità Freelancer, Contratti, Elusive Target, DLC e quasi tutto il materiale pubblicato fino ad **** modalità portatile gira in risoluzione 720p con un frame rate libero che oscilla tra i 30 e i 50 FPS: il supporto al VRR sullo schermo di Switch 2 aiuta a mantenere una sensazione di fluidità, ma non cancella del tutto i micro cali più marcati. Le prestazioni in dock restano più costanti intorno ai 30 FPS, ma in assenza di VRR saltano di più, soprattutto nelle aree affollate. Dal punto di vista visivo, è un porting ben riuscito: colorato, dettagliato, riflessi e **** reggono molto bene la versione portatile; in dock si notano cali di qualità, ma complessivamente la resa supera le aspettative per un AAA su console **** sistema di controllo si limita alle impostazioni classiche: niente mouse, né gyro o touch avanzato. I Joy‑Con 2 funzionano bene per i comandi base e l’audio 3D direzionale è un valore aggiunto per l’esperienza stealth. Sul piano tecnico emergono limiti da non trascurare: le frequenze di frame rate fluttuanti compromettono talvolta la precisione nei momenti chiave (come centrare un colpo o evitare una guardia), e l’HDR in portatile, se attivo, tende a sovraesporre i neri. Inoltre, senza connessione Internet tutti i progressi online, le sfide e il profilo giocatore rimangono bloccati: offline, il gioco funziona ma perde buona parte della sua struttura, un limite evidente per una console pensata per il mobile gaming. A peggiorare il quadro, la scelta della cartuccia tipo "game‑key card", che richiede un corposo download (~61 GB): poco elegante per i collezionisti che si aspettavano un formato completo su cartuccia. Nonostante tutto, la struttura sandbox della serie regala missioni pensate, libertà d’azione e una rigiocabilità potenzialmente illimitata. L’assenza di mouse e gyro è un peccato, ma la sostanza è intatta: replay creativi, level design calibrato e atmosfera impeccabile.Signature Edition su Switch 2 è un porting ambizioso e ricco, perfetto per chi ama operare in stealth con flessibilità e tempo. Tuttavia, le prestazioni altalenanti, la dipendenza da rete per la progressione, il formato cartuccia parziale e la mancanza di controlli avanzati frenano leggermente l’esperienza. Per chi gioca quasi sempre connesso e vuole la versione da tascabile delle missioni dell'Agente 47, è comunque un acquisto valido e sorprendentemente completo.

HITMAN World of Assassination – Signature Edition is perhaps thus named because it literally requires your signature to play. Once you’re past that and a few other technical and online issues, however, you’ll get a ton of content with countless ways to work through it. Make room for the 60GB install file, because you’ll want to keep this game around for a very long time.

Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition is a decent port of an incredible stealth game, bringing hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of entertainment to Nintendo Switch 2 in a very well-rounded package. Performance could be better, and there are a few bugs in need of patches, but it's nevertheless a joy to pick up and play and almost impossible to put down.

Hitman: World of Assassination delivers easily some of the most entertaining gameplay of all titles released on Nintendo Switch 2 during its launch window. For all its ridiculously hilarious possibilities that go almost as far as imagination will allow for, this may well be the ideal recommendation for those after a solo game that will provide dozens of hours of enjoyment up until the next big release on the system. The one big caveat, however, is the online requirement that causes halts and crashes, and locks out a large chunk of content. It is a huge blemish on what is a cracker of a package.

Overall, Hitman is a solid game on Switch 2. It’s still the game you know and love performing as you’d hope, but with the added novelty of being on a console/portable hybrid like the Switch 2. However, its reliance on being always online, lackluster support for Switch 2’s features, and general lack of options bring it down quite a bit. If you just want to be able to play Hitman on your couch or in bed on a portable device without much care for a touch screen or gyro aiming, by all means, give this a go. It’s a showcase of the Switch 2’s power and capabilities, but not necessarily its features, for better or worse.

Hitman World of Assassination - Signature Edition is a stunning collection of games that sees Agent 47 at his absolute best. With multiplayer aspects woven seamlessly and smartly into the mix, tons of ways to approach every mission, and some of the best level design in the biz, this is a bonafide belter, no questions asked. However, this Switch 2 port — as things stand at launch — does need some work to fix its stuttering issues, especially in docked mode, as they are just a little too notable for comfort. Still highly playable, but with some performance problems, then. Let's hope we see improvements in the form of a patch or two ASAP.

The World of Assasination is an Amazing package and perfect for the Switch 2. Unfortunatly, the performance is OK but it could be way better if they put in more effort. In some rare instances the framerate goes up to 60 fps but only in some really isolated, closed rooms. IO could have easily made thos game run at more constant 60 fps.
What makes this port unacaptable are the horrible DLSS and some very irregular game crashes. In about 20 hours, i had like 3 crashes, which is no good look for a launch title on a shiny new Nintendo Console. The DLSS looks horrible. It just smers the image and turns the text things on things like signes into a mess. All in all, the port is just dissapointing. I hope IO will fix some of the issues via updates but this is not a condition you should launch a game in. Its also just annoying that this game is digital only making me spend 60 GB of Storage in it. This is an insane amount considering that the micro SD Express cards are super expansive at this point

A ‘portable’ with mandatory online features. Poorly optimized version that’s unable to run at a stable frame rate.
