Hitman: World of Assassination was already a huge game even before it accompanied the Nintendo Switch 2 launch with a native version on June 5th. But even as an established multi-platform game, it still has room for improvement, and now IO Interactive has released a new version of the game, aimed precisely at fixing some of the issues that have arisen in the Nintendo Switch 2 version.
Patch 3.230.1, released yesterday, 26 August, fixes a number of bugs, such as the one that caused game save crashes. It also focuses on fixing lighting in certain darker areas, as well as some isolated fps drops. You can find the full patch notes below.
