Not with 8 GB: the game asks for 16 GB. You need the 16 GB configuration.
Can Hitman World of Assassination hit 60 FPS on the MacBook Air M1?
Not consistently. For 30 FPS, use 1080p High (about 30 FPS).
Does the MacBook Air M1 throttle in Hitman World of Assassination?
The MacBook Air M1 has no fan. In long sessions it lowers clocks to manage heat, and our figures already account for that sustained loss, around 15% in a game this demanding.
What about 1440p and 4K?
On High, the MacBook Air M1 gets about 18 FPS at 1440p and about 9 FPS at 4K in Hitman World of Assassination. These are native figures.
