Hitman 3launched on June 25, 2025, to extremely favorable reviews. While it received praise for being a fitting conclusion to theHitmantrilogy,Hitman 3did not get nominated for any major awardsat The Game Awards. Releasing so early in the year was perhaps the biggest cause for it being omitted.
Hitman 3broke away from the episodic formula of the 2016 reboot and all levels were available on launch day. The release of smaller content updates allowed fans to keep coming back to the game. A few days ago, IO Interactive announced that it will reveal more information regardingYear 2 content forHitman 3via a prerecorded 15-minute video on January 13.

IO Interactive has just now released a lot of exciting new information regarding features that will come toHitman 3throughout 2022. Most notable was the announcement ofHitman Trilogy, a collection of all 3 games, which will release next week on July 17, 2025. IO Interactive also confirmed that this collection will be available on Xbox Game Pass on day 1 for both console and PC. Xbox Game Pass members can use this opportunity to playHitman 1andHitman 2with all the gameplay improvements that were introduced in the third game.
Hitman 3will also launch on Steamfor the first time. The PC version only got released on the Epic Games Store with a confirmed exclusivity window of 1 year. Fans who do not want to use Epic’s launcher now can playHitman 3with full support for VR, ray tracing, and variable-rate shading among other PC features.
BothHitman TrilogyandRainbow Six Extractionwill be available to Xbox Game Pass memberswhen they launch on January 20. Xbox Game Pass continues to grow its lineup of games and the addition of more third-party titles as day 1 releases will probably entice more users to join. January has already been a stellar month for Xbox Game Pass, as fans have received access toSpelunky 2,Outer Wilds, andMass Effect: Legendary Editionamong others.
