The August 26, 2025 patch for HITMAN World of Assassination on Nintendo Switch 2 brings important fixes to stability, visuals, and performance. Crashes caused by auto save loading have been resolved, along with lighting issues that caused excessively bright environments and screens across multiple missions.
Performance has also been enhanced with adjustments around mirrors, which previously led to framerate drops, and the addition of a new frame rate option to stabilize gameplay. These fixes aim to ensure smoother stealth experiences for players across Switch 2.
