IO Interactive has delivered a major update to Hitman World of Assassination, one of the studio’s most acclaimed stealth-action titles, with the introduction of a comprehensive cross-progression system.
This new feature, available starting February 3, enables players to maintain their in-game progress across multiple platforms, such as Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC—a significant advancement in the ongoing effort to offer a seamless gameplay experience for the growing Hitman community. Since its debut, Hitman World of Assassination has established itself as a cornerstone in the stealth genre, praised for its intricate level design and freedom of approach.
Published by IO Interactive, the game continues to expand its audience with quality-of-life features and support on modern hardware, including the Nintendo Switch 2 via cloud streaming. The newly launched cross-progression system leverages IOI Account integration, allowing players to link accounts from different platforms.
Progress data—ranging from player experience and level, location mastery, inventory, to achievements, trophies, and even Freelancer mode advancement—is now stored securely online.
In official statements, IO Interactive clarified the process: after linking their accounts, players will designate a primary profile.
Progress from that main account will synchronize automatically across all connected platforms, ensuring that time spent completing challenges, unlocking items, or advancing the story remains unified, regardless of whether play continues on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. "The cross-progression model is designed to provide a consistent, uninterrupted experience for all Hitman World of Assassination players," a spokesperson for IO Interactive shared.
"By introducing a primary account, we guarantee that your achievements and progress travel with you, supporting our long-term vision for a connected global community." Hitman World of Assassination, first released in 2022, has become a flagship title for IO Interactive, receiving multiple content updates and earning critical acclaim for its replayability and depth.
The inclusion of features like cross-progression bolsters its longevity, particularly as gamers increasingly expect frictionless access to their saves and unlocks on popular platforms, including the Nintendo Switch 2 and digital storefronts like the Nintendo eShop. Although IO Interactive’s announcement did not cite specific Nintendo Switch 2 details, the platform is included in the list of supported systems for cross-progression, and owners will soon be able to take advantage of this update.
As always, Hitman enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for further developer updates and to experience the newly streamlined gameplay across devices.
