This process is now automatically rolling out via Steam entitlements. To make up for things, everyone on Steam who has already bought Hitman 3 or buys the game through to February 19 will be granted a free upgrade to the Hitman 3 Deluxe Edition.Īll Hitman 3 Deluxe Edition or Hitman Trilogy owners will get a free upgrade to the Seven Deadly Sins Collection.
"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," said the studio. To appease buyers and potential customers, IO Interactive is offering up extra paid content for nothing. One of the biggest issues potential customers had was the fact Hitman 3 was priced at $60 for a game without anything but the base content. The subreddit returned later the same day, though Mark was quick to address some basic ground rules stating that while "criticism is of course allowed", "harassment and vitriol is not.The issue players had with the game was the various purchase options available for the Hitman games. IOI had no part in privating the subreddit, this was entirely the decision of the moderators, and we are just fellow fans like you who volunteer our time to help out," a moderator wrote. "This decision was due to targeted harassment, and a security breach which affected our ability to moderate the subreddit effectively and safely. On social media, the outcry from fans led to the game's subreddit being temporarily closed down after some members of the community took steps too far and began targeting their harassment. Considering that the game has been out for a year (albeit an Epic exclusive) many fans felt frustrated that IO Interactive hadn't discounted the game when it came out for the second time around.
Purchasing the standard edition of Hitman 3 on Steam will set you back $60 - the same amount that it launched for on Epic a year ago. Fans who have paid for the standard edition of Hitman 3 will automatically be upgraded to the Deluxe Edition, while those who already own the Deluxe Edition or a copy of Hitman Trilogy will gain access to the Seven Deadly Sins Collection.Īnger over the launch of Hitman 3 began last week with fans largely taking issue over the game's pricing.
The specific upgrade you'll be entitled to will depend upon which version of the game you have purchased. Simply launch your Steam copy of HITMAN 3 and the new content from your free upgrade will be waiting for you to enjoy." Starting on January 27th 2022, this process will begin to automatically roll out via Steam entitlements. "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. "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," read a statement from the company.
