Steam Copies of Hitman 3 Are Being Upgraded For Free

Hitman 3 has had a bit of a rocky launch on Steam, as evident by its mixed rating out of just over one thousand reviews. The issue first arose when, after a full year of sitting on the Epic Games Store as a timed exclusive, IO Interactive brought the title to Valve’s digital distribution platform… at full price. The $60 price tag was not met with much positivity. And those who did throw down the cash found that the VR experience, a part of the Season 2 content, was a buggy mess.

Needless to say, the community was not happy with IO’s handling of Hitman 3‘s Steam release. The developer quickly addressed the outcry via a blog post, where they made an offering to those unhappy with the state of the game. Here’s their post in its entirety:

Our HITMAN 3 launch on Steam didn’t go as planned. 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.

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.

So, here’s what we’re going to do: Everyone on Steam who has already bought HITMAN 3, or anyone that buys the game through to February 19th 2022, will be granted a free upgrade.

-> All HITMAN 3 Standard Edition owners will get a free upgrade to the HITMAN 3 Deluxe Edition.

-> All HITMAN 3 Deluxe Edition or HITMAN Trilogy owners will get a free upgrade to the Seven Deadly Sins Collection.

Starting on January 27th 2022, this process will begin to automatically roll out via Steam entitlements. Simply launch your Steam copy of HITMAN 3 and the new content from your free upgrade will be waiting for you to enjoy.

Hitman 3 is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia.
