The PSVR exclusive game is making its way to PC in the new year…

IO Interactive has announced its hit game (full pun intended) Hitman 3 will be receiving a whole bunch of updates that fans can expect to see at the start of 2022.

The biggest of these updates includes the VR version coming at the start of Hitman 3‘s second year.

Hitman 3 VR

Hitman 3 VR came out exclusively on PSVR when the game first came out at the beginning of this year. Yet the video that accompanies IO Interactive’s Year 2 announcement blog, features clips of Hitman 3 VR being played with both an Oculus Rift S and Valve Index.

The PC VR experience looks more immersive than the PSVR version as that version only supports the DualShock 4 gamepad and its limited motion controls, meaning players can’t even use the more intuitive Move controllers with it. It hasn’t been stated when PC users can expect the VR version yet, however full technical details, including the platforms that IO Interactive supporting will be revealed before Hitman 3 Year 2 starts on 20 January 2022.

Other updates IO Interactive announced include adding a series of new maps, storylines, and modes next year, along with the permanent addition of Elusive Target Arcade mode and support for ray-tracing on PC.

It was also announced that Hitman 3 has become the most successful game in the series. With over 50 million players already this year, the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy that started in 2016, has a score of 87 on Metacritic and is only looking upwards with its new content being released at the start of the new year.

We're excited to announce that HITMAN 3 – Year 2 starts on 20 January 2022.

Yesterday, Sony announced it had acquired Nixxes Software, their second acquisition announcement from this week.

Herman Hulst, the head of PlayStation Studios, made an acquisition announcement over on Twitter, welcoming Nixxes Software to the PlayStation family. The studio has predominantly worked with various Square Enix Studios such as Crystal Dynamic, IO Interactive, and Eidos Montreal to port games for the Tomb Raider franchise, Marvel’s Avengers, and Deus Ex to PC. So what does this mean for PlayStation?

Jurjen and team @nixxessoftware helped us @guerrilla ship Killzone Shadowfall in time for PS4 launch. We already enjoyed working with them back then!

The History of PlayStation’s Studio Acquisitions

Microsoft has been the one to make studio acquisition headlines in most recent years with the company acquiring smaller studios like Double Fine, to larger studios like Bethesda last year. This has caused fans wanting Sony to step up their ante, but the company has been very deliberate with what studio it acquires.

Insomniac Games was PlayStation’s first official studio acquisition in 2019, which was no surprise to anyone given the fact the two companies have an extensive history creating franchises together such as Resistance, Ratchet & Clank and the recent Spider-Man games.

Earlier this week, Playstation announced its second major acquisition, Housemarque, another studio that has worked with the company in the past, including games such as Returnal (pictured below) and Matterfall. PlayStation is undoubtedly playing it safe and buying studios it already has a great relationship with, yet the Nixxus acquisition hints at future possibilities.

What Nixxes Software means for PlayStation

While the studio did help Playstation with the Killzone Shadowfall PS4 launch, this acquisition could be incredibly valuable to PC players. A lot of speculation had already begun with Nixxes being the ones to port Sony franchises to the PC after Herman Hulst hinted what players could expect in 2021 and 2022 regarding PC games.

“We’re still early on in our planning for PC. And Horizon Zero Dawn has been very successful. I think it shows there’s an appetite from gamers outside the PlayStation ecosystem to experience the amazing portfolio of games that PlayStation fans have enjoyed for years,” – Herman Hulst, PlayStation Blog.

Hulst also added that PC gamers are valued and PC releases will happen at the “right times”.

If Nixxes does port more PlayStation games to PC, it would be interesting to see what games and how many PlayStation exclusives will stay exclusive. What Playstation games would you like to be ported to PC? Comment down below to let us know!

A few of the assassination contracts will appear only once, and will be around in a small time window. The example shown in the conference was in a 48hr time frame.
