Hitman 3 is already a good-looking game, but if you’ve been exploring the world of assassination on PC, then you’re eligible to upgrade your experience with raytracing and supersampling. That’s assuming you meet the requirements, of course. Developer IO Interactive has now provided them.
The spec list was given as part of IOI’s PC patch 3.110 writeup. The update “will bring higher quality reflections and shadows” to the game, it says. Pulling this off is “is quite demanding on the GPU” according to IOI (and pretty much every other developer who tries it), so recommended settings are provided in addition to the specs. You don’t need a top-of-the-line PC to get raytracing and supersampling done, but you still need some pretty powerful gear. You can find the spec lists below.

This PC patch is one of many Hitman 3 updates planned for the month of May and beyond. As per the Year Two May roadmap, the game has already received a handful of featured contracts this month. Several additions will be made as part of the May 24 update, including the Duck Hunt event, the Yellow Rabbit suit, and the Ducky Gun. Freelancer Mode has been delayed however. That’s now coming in the second half of 2022.
