I got an update on my request to Feral Interactive for gyroscopic control additions. Hitman Absolution was updated this morning with the ability to use gyroscopic aiming to throw items. Previously this was only possible with analogue stick control.

"To Whom It May Concern,

I have enjoyed the gyroscopic aiming added to the gun aiming. However I noticed it wasn't present when throwing items or when hiding in boxes and peaking. Can the 9-axis aiming be added to these areas as well. Thank you."

"Hi,
Thanks for your purchase, and for taking the time to send us your feedback. We'll ensure this is passed onto the relevant people.If you have any further feedback please let us know. If not, we hope you enjoy the game!

Best regards,
Bryn Powell

Got the following response about 9-axis gyroscopic support:

"First off, thank you so much for getting in touch and for taking the time out of your day to share your request about adding gyroscopic controls for the Switch 2 version of 007 First Light. We always love to hear feedback from our passionate players.

We absolutely understand why gyro aiming matters to a lot of players, especially on Switch 2 where it can improve precision and reduce the need to rely on high stick sensitivity. Feedback like this is genuinely valuable because it helps us better understand what features players prioritize day-to-day, not just in theory but in how the game actually feels in your hands.

I’ve logged your request and shared it with our team so it can be reviewed alongside other player suggestions. While we can’t make any promises about specific features or timelines, please know that we do take this kind of input seriously, and it helps inform ongoing conversations around control options, accessibility, and overall player experience."

I did ask IO Interactive about adding add 9-axis gyroscopic aiming to Hitman World of Assassination, they gave the follwoing response:

"Thank you kindly for taking the time to reach out and share your thoughts. I've now documented your feedback about gyro motion controls and have sent it to the team for internal review, so they can discuss it. "

Unfortunately it was in 8th October 2025, so I don't think a update is likely

Yes I would be on interested. I am hoping they add gyroscopic support, similar to Metroid Prime 4.

Metroid Prime 4, Donkey Kong Bananza, Cyberpunk 2077 & Star Wars: Outlaws.

Notable mention: Switch 2 versions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Pokemon: Scarlet & Violet.

Multiplayer mentions: Kirby Air Riders & Mario Kart World

Still no gyroscopic or mouse aiming controls?

Are the gyroscopic controls any good? Would the gyroscopic controls be comparable to modern Switch 2 games?

Really enjoying the game. Looking forward to unlocking hard mode. Please Nintendo release Remasters of Metroid Prime 2, Metroid Prime 3 and 3DS Metroid Samus Returns for Switch 2.

Will this game ever get gyroscopic aiming? Why do none of these developers use this key feature, that has been present since the first Switch?

Metroid Prime 4.

Does the game support gyroscopic controls?

Not an option if you live in Australia. So Nintendo Switch cloud game = cancelled game for me

The Australian price is $34.95.

The Australian price is $34.95.

I would love to but no Switch cloud games are available in my country (Australia).

"We didn't specifically look to add new features on XCOM2 for Switch. Instead, we really focused in on what we could do to make XCOM2 a great portable experience."

I guess that means no gyro/motion control for Bioshock or The Outer Worlds

sigh I just really hope one of these releases is the HD Metroid Prime Trilogy.
