'Gaming is the most dynamic and exciting entertainment category across all platforms and will play a key role in the development of Metaverse platforms,' Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said, even promising 'a new era of gaming.' The strategy recently showed up in Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard - also for a possible Metaverse future.

While Game Pass users can already play Hitman VR, Microsoft also wants to strengthen its future gaming portfolio. At least an Intel i7-8700 or an AMD Ryis required as a processor. However, this only applies to low settings and for low-resolution 'lower-end headsets'. All other common headsets can be used, including the Valve Index, various HTC models, and the Meta Quest (2) connected to the PC via Oculus Link.Īt least a GeForce RTX 2060 Super or an AMD 5700XT is recommended for smooth 90 frames per second. The headset for the Windows Mixed Reality platform (WMR) is explicitly not supported according to the system requirements. There is disappointing news for owners of the VR glasses HP Reverb G2, however.

If you have access to Hitman 1, 2, or 3 (Standard, Deluxe, or Trilogy), all adventures can be played in VR. The only important thing, it said, is that 'HITMAN 3 Free Starter Pack' and the 'HITMAN 3 - Demo' do not support virtual reality.Īfter the January 20 patch 3.100, the complete trilogy of the action-adventure Hitman works in VR and enables delicate assassination with motion controllers. The Windows version is available on Steam, the Microsoft Store and the Epic Games Store. 'The game enables VR, not the platform,' the studio said. Hitman Trilogy is currently available in Microsoft's gaming subscription.ĭeveloper IOI announced that all PC versions of Hitman 3 will get an update for the new virtual reality mode - no matter which download store. If you want to get a taste of the freshly released Year 2 update with PCVR support on PC, Game Pass could be the solution. Hitman 3 was one of the most impressive titles with VR support on Playstation VR.

The Year 2 update for Hitman 3 (VR) is live: Game Pass subscribers will be happy, but Reverb G2 users will be left out in the cold.
