![]() To detail their compensation, they’re offering free upgrades on two of the Hitman 3 versions. Ultimately, we didn’t meet our own expectations of a launch experience and we don’t like that our Steam community is beginning their HITMAN 3 journey in this way. We were excited to bring HITMAN 3 to Steam with new content and we knew that anticipation and excitement levels amongst our Steam players was high, especially as the game had been an Epic exclusive for a year. ![]() The PC version is exclusive to Epic for 12 months, so we might expect to see it on Steam in January 2022.Our HITMAN 3 launch on Steam didn’t go as planned. The game's also on PlayStations, Xboxes, Stadia, and, curiously, Nintendo Switch through cloud gaming. Uh, as a stopgap, you can still get that Hitman 1 Access Pass to play those murders before it's all fixed. Hitman 3 is available now from the Epic Games Store for £50. ![]() Even if the issue turns out to be unconnected to Epixclusivity, with only vague statements from Io and Epic about the problem, that certainly has become the public perception of it. Controversy over Epic paying for exclusives had been somewhat fading into background noise, then along comes this mess. It's not clear what went wrong wrong or changed where and with who, but it might be relevant that the trilogy started on Steam before Epic Games lured Hitman 3 over to their own store (presumably by throwing coins to distract Io from their patrol route). ![]() The fix might take a while, as Io said they will "roll that out in the coming weeks." The game's launch today hasn't brought new information about it, not yet at least. Come Sunday, Io were saying, "We guarantee that players will NOT need to repurchase these games". Instead, it said people who pre-ordered Hitman 3 or bought it within the first ten days would get Hitman 1's content free, and could buy Hitman 2's at a discount. Io had said in August that "locations from 1 and 2 can be imported at no additional cost for existing owners," but on Friday posted a launch guide saying nothing of the sort for PC. Hitman 2 had the ability to hook with the first game on Steam, merging them into one big murdergame, and that was supposed to happen with 3 too. Shame the way it connects with the rest of the trilogy is hindered by mysterious issues. Sounds like a good game in itself, and a good part of the trilogy. It is like Ian himself – reliable, dry-humoured, uniformed. "As a trilogy, it is one of the most fun-loving games of the previous decade. "As a final act, Hitman 3 is as capable and pleasing as its trilogy-siblings," Brendy said in our Hitman 3 review. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Unfortunately, the promised ability for owners of the previous two games to connect and play them inside 3 is delayed. One mission is just a murder mystery potentially starring Ian, an actual murderer, as the detective. As he fights a vast conspiracy, he'll do murders in new levels everywhere from England to Dubai, and get into a few of his trademark daft situations. Ian Hitman's current trilogy of sandbox stealth-o-murder games wraps up today with Hitman 3, which launched just a few minutes ago.
