Key Takeaways

📺 Hitman Switch 2 Performance Issues

Hitman Switch 2 struggles to maintain 40 fps on launch. Players diving into IO Interactive's Hitman World of Assassination on Nintendo Switch 2 have noticed that, despite an uncapped frame rate, the game rarely climbs above 40 fps in both handheld and docked modes. Early performance reviews, such as the detailed comparison by SwitchCorner, highlight stutters in heavily populated levels and frame-time inconsistencies even during stealth segments.


How to download the upcoming Hitman patch. IO Interactive has acknowledged these teething problems and confirmed that a performance patch is in development. To ensure you receive the update as soon as it's available, simply navigate to the Hitman World of Assassination listing on your Nintendo eShop, select Software Update, and let the console download and install the fix automatically. Meanwhile, if you're still undecided on which Hitman entry to tackle first, revisit the classic HITMAN - E3 2015 Trailer on PS4 to rekindle your appreciation for Agent 47's stealthy exploits.

📺 Steam Store Redesign Leak

Leaked Steam redesign sparks community debate. Over on Reddit, concept images hinting at a potential Steam Store menu UI overhaul have begun circulating, showing streamlined navigation panels and larger game cover showcases. While Valve has yet to comment, the prospect of a cleaner browsing experience has enthusiasts speculating whether this could usher in an era of more intuitive game discovery.


How to grab the latest Steam client beta. If you're eager to test upcoming features, you can opt into Steam's beta updates by visiting Settings → Account → Beta Participation and selecting Steam Beta Update. After restarting the client, you'll automatically receive the newest builds—including any early storefront tweaks. Remember, leaked materials should always be taken with a grain of salt, but if you're a PC gamer looking for cutting-edge changes, the beta channel remains your best avenue for hands-on exploration.

📺 Clair Obscur Expedition 33's Influence on Final Fantasy

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 inspires classic RPG mechanics. Released earlier this year for PS5, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's launch trailer hinted at deep narrative beats and turn-based elements reminiscent of Final Fantasy X (2001). In a recent interview with Anime News Network, Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida acknowledged that the success of Clair Obscur has prompted Square Enix to reevaluate the balance between action and traditional turn-based combat in future titles.


How to download Final Fantasy XVI on PlayStation. If you haven't yet experienced the latest mainline entry—launched on June 22, 2023—you can purchase and download it directly from the PlayStation Store. Simply search for Final Fantasy XVI, add it to your cart, and follow the on-screen prompts. As Yoshida-san noted to IGN, "there's no clear-cut answer" on whether future entries will revert entirely to turn-based systems, since multiple gameplay elements must be considered first.
