Hitman Trilogy is headed to Xbox Game Pass and Steam

The Hitman Trilogy is officially headed to Steam and Game Pass along with all other platforms.

After Hitman Absolution took the franchise in a more linear direction, the Hitman World of Assassination Trilogy, or Hitman Trilogy for short, acted as a course correction for the franchise.

Instead of going for a linear story-based adventure, where every action was restricted by a rudimentary points system, the Hitman World of Assassination Trilogy opened up the levels to feature massive sandboxes. With complex NPCs featuring interconnected routines and infinite possibilities for takedowns, the game opened up new avenues for players to explore.

While the first and second titles of the Hitman World of Assassination Trilogy are available on Steam, Hitman 3 was absent from the platform. As per the latest announcement, not only is Hitman 3 headed to Steam, but so is the collection of all three titles on all platforms, including Steam.
