![]() ![]() HITMAN 3 releases on all platforms on January 20th. I’m looking forward to jumping into the dangerous world of Agent 47 day one. It’s an interesting idea, and it did allow the Switch to have the honour of being the first console to have raytracing in Control… I would expect it to become more common in the future, however, especially any time games are being ported from next-gen hardware. This ‘cloud-only’ release scheme is still unusual, done for the first time to get Control to run on Nintendo’s lower-powered hardware. It’s not clear how much data streaming HITMAN 3 will take up, but expect it to burn though Canada’s mobile data caps fairly quickly. This will mostly impact those of you who want to play on the go, as you’ll have to tether your Switch to a mobile WiFi signal – your phone for example – if you want to get your game on. In new Switch News, Hitman 3 Nintendo Switch has arrived, and Zach is here to put the new Switch game through the gauntlet How does this Hitman 3 Cloud Vers. This release is a bit different from most, however, with the game only available via cloud streaming. It’s really just a matter of how Nintendo, their cloud gaming partner, and third-party developers choose to work together.The HITMAN 3 release date on Nintendo Switch has been confirmed, and owners of Nintendo’s ‘sometimes portable, sometimes not’ console hybrid will be able to enjoy the neck-snapping, body-hiding fun of HITMAN 3 on January 20th alongside the other versions. Yes, that means you could be playing Cyberpunk 2077 on your Nintendo Switch. Hypothetically, there is no game that the Nintendo Switch couldn’t run at max specs with the help of cloud technology. Yes, cloud gaming would allow the Nintendo Switch to support high-end third-party games that would otherwise be unplayable on the console. Agent 47 returns in HITMAN 3, the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy.NintendoSwitch ContraNetwork HITMAN3 Site htt. The biggest implication of Nintendo’s expansion of their cloud gaming program is also the simplest. Cloud Gaming Could Greatly Expand the Switch’s Third-Party Lineup (For Better and Worse) The possibility of Game Pass coming to Switch was already a longshot, and we now seemingly know part of the reason why. It’s highly unlikely they would want Game Pass games to stream via a third-party cloud program, and there are some Game Pass games that would be impossible to port to Switch without cloud support. Microsoft’s ambitions for the xCloud program are closely tied to the service’s ability to stream Game Pass games. Remember when Phil Spencer was talking about the possibility of Game Pass coming to other platforms? Well, in recent interviews, he’s downplayed that possibility somewhat by stating that such a move would likely depend on a company’s willingness to incorporate other Xbox programs like Xbox live profiles and achievements. Subscribe Nintendo’s Current Cloud Gaming Plans Pretty Much End Any Hope of Xbox Game Pass Coming to Switch That being said, relying on a third-party program also means relying on any baggage (technological and otherwise) that comes with that service. ![]() Given Nintendo’s history and their tendency to focus on games and brands above modern trends, we certainly understand why they wouldn’t be interested in developing their own cloud gaming service. While most major cloud gaming program is based on some kind of technology/service operated by the company that utilizes them, Nintendo Switch’s small lineup of cloud games relies on the technology offered by Ubitus. Nintendo Seems Fine with Using a Third-Party Cloud Service…For Now That’s all fairly standard by modern cloud gaming metrics, which is honestly kind of surprising given that Nintendo hasn’t really talked much about their cloud gaming plans in recent years. Needless to say, that’s not the kind of performance that you’d expect from a game running natively on the Nintendo Switch’s hardware.Īt the same time, that arrangement means that you now only don’t actually own Control on the Nintendo Switch but that you can’t even play the game on Nintendo Switch if you’re not connected to a WiFi signal strong enough to support cloud streaming. ![]() Once you are able to stream Control, though, you’ll find that you’re not only able to play the game via a WiFi connection but that you even have the option to access a version of the game that supports ray tracing visuals running at 30 FPS. Essentially, you’re buying a ticket to the server, which also means that you may have to wait in line to actually get in. What you’re actually buying when you buy Control for the Nintendo Switch is permission to stream it via a Taiwan-based technology company called Ubitus.
