A new game update for Hitman has been released on PC, with the patch rolling out to PS4 and Xbox One ahead of Tuesday’s launch of the Sapienza stage.

The new patch includes:

Reconnect Option

If a player is playing in online mode and gets disconnected during gameplay, they will have the option to immediately reconnect and resume play without losing any progress, instead of returning to the main menu.

Immediate Challenge Awards

Challenges are now awarded and saved immediately upon completion, rather than when completing a mission.

Loading Times

Significant improvements to load and restart times across all locations.

(Reduced by approximately 50% on PS4 and Xbox One)

Weapon HUD Settings

Added three options for displaying the holstered/equipped weapon icon.

  • Full: Show weapon HUD for equipped and holstered weapon.
  • Minimal: Show weapon HUD only for equipped weapon.
  • Off: Don’t show weapon HUD.

Dropped Items

Disguises, weapons and items that are dropped are now shown on the in-game map.
