Feral Interactive has just rolled out a special offer that is perfect for players who are still rocking the original Switch. The Switch 2 edition of Hitman: Absolution is now available for a free upgrade path for anyone who currently owns the game on the initial Switch hardware. This is a valuable proposition for long-time fans of Agent 47 and the grand, chaotic assassination missions of London.

However, this isn't a permanent freebie. The promotional window for this upgrade is strict, closing promptly on November 4th. Once that date passes, the price structure for both the upgrade and the base game shifts significantly.

For players interested in making the jump, here is the breakdown. The upgrade pack itself—the specific path that transitions you to the Switch 2 version—will cost $9.99 / £4.99 / €4,99 once the free period ends. Furthermore, the Switch 2 edition of Hitman: Absolution is currently seeing a launch discount, which will cease at the same time the upgrade deal expires. After November 4th, the base game will return to its full retail price of $39.99 / £24.99 / €29.99.

This timing is crucial. While Feral Interactive is moving the game onto the new hardware, the promotional pricing is temporary. If you've been waiting for the right moment to jump over to the enhanced Switch 2 experience, November 4th is your absolute final deadline to take advantage of the free upgrade path. Don't sleep on this offer if you want to enjoy the revamped mechanics and improved performance without the immediate cost.

Why bother upgrading? The Switch 2 edition promises a modernized take on the classic stealth-action experience, bringing 47's journey to a newer console platform. While the upgrade path is free right now, the savings evaporate quickly once the clock strikes midnight on November 5th.
