Hitman: World of Assassination on Switch 2 seems to have an undocumented "performance mode"
Changing system settings to 720p increases frame-rate by up to 62 percent - and that's just the start of the story.
We've not had the chance to play every Switch 2 game in-depth owing to the sheer volume of them and regrettably, one of the titles we've not been able to look at in depth is Io Interactive's classic Hitman: World of Assassination. Based on prior testing on other systems, I've found Berlin and Whittleton Creek to be GPU-intensive, while the proliferation of NPCs in Paris and Mumbai may help us to identify areas where Switch 2 may be CPU-limited. For the end user then, there are a couple of takeaways here: firstly, you can effectively max out frame-rates by dropping to 720p - the main problem being that the very noticeably lower resolution is not exactly a good look for the game.
