Players who held off purchasing the Hitman trilogy on PC due to the lack of a Steam release can finally enjoy the game with VR support now available for all three games in the trilogy.

What’s new in Hitman 3 Year Two?

The two biggest talking points about the new patch are the Elusive Target Arcane mode and VR support. The Elusive Target Arcade is a brand new game mode that takes the Elusive Target concept to the next level, mixes up the formula, and introduces new challenges and unlockable rewards. The new content will be spread across 10 of Hitman’s locations, and three new permanent contracts will be added as part of the update.

Hitman VR will arrive for Hitman 3 on PC for Epic Games Store, Steam, and Microsoft Store. If you own the Hitman trilogy, you’ll be able to play all three games in VR starting 20th January.
