IO Interactive has officially unveiled that cross-progression is coming to Hitman: World of Assassination, effective February 3, 2026.
The update, detailed in a recent developer blog post, is set to offer players the flexibility to synchronize their in-game achievements and progress across multiple hardware platforms — including the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and beyond.
This significant enhancement is tailored to fans who own Hitman: World of Assassination on more than one device and want a seamless, unified gameplay experience. Cross-progression support means that gamers will soon be able to transfer critical progression data such as their player level, unlocks, campaign status, location mastery, and more.
To activate this feature, users must log in with their IOI Account across all relevant gaming systems.
IO Interactive has also published a comprehensive guide, ensuring that players can easily set up their accounts and make the most out of the new cross-progression tools. According to the official announcement, the following elements will be covered by cross-progression: - Experience and Player Level - Completed Challenges - Location Mastery - Unlocks and Inventory - Achievements and Trophies - Freelancer Mode Progression - Campaign Story Progress However, it’s important to note that certain aspects, including game and DLC licenses, leaderboard scores, and both online and offline save games, will not be transferrable between platforms.
Players will still need to own the respective game and DLC licenses for each system they wish to play on. Hitman: World of Assassination, developed and published by IO Interactive, originally launched to critical acclaim and has continued to receive robust post-launch support.
The title’s arrival on Switch 2 was met with enthusiasm, although initial feedback highlighted some performance inconsistencies.
Notably, IO Interactive has since rolled out a patch that locks gameplay at 30fps, vastly improving stability and the overall gaming experience for Nintendo fans. This move to implement cross-progression highlights IO Interactive’s commitment to supporting its player base and ensuring long-term engagement across platforms.
As the feature goes live in February 2026, Hitman: World of Assassination stands out as a leading example of a multiplatform title that is both accessible and rewarding for dedicated players, whether on Nintendo Switch, the latest console hardware, or competing systems.
