PSA: Hitman: Absolution’s Switch 2 Upgrade Path Is Free For Now, But Be Quick!
Hitman: Absolution has launched on Nintendo Switch 2 this week, with Feral Interactive offering existing Switch players a limited-time free upgrade path. The free upgrade window closes November 4th, 2026; after that date, upgrading will cost $9.99 (£4.99 / €4.99).
The game itself is currently available with a 10% launch discount. Once the promotional period expires on November 4th, the full price will increase to $39.99 (£24.99 / €29.99) for new purchases.
This upgrade structure gives existing Switch owners a narrow window to access the enhanced Switch 2 version without additional cost, creating an incentive for prompt action. The timed promotion is a standard approach for platform upgrades and ports, allowing publishers to drive early adoption while leveraging launch momentum.
For players already owning Hitman: Absolution on the original Switch, the free upgrade represents an opportunity to experience the game on new hardware at no cost—provided they act before the November 4th deadline.
