Hitman III is one of the best games of 2021. Players loved taking control of Agent 47 as he set on his journey across several locations around the world. The game is very well-optimized. It requires an almost-a-decade-old i5-2500K along with a GTX 660, or Radeon HD 7870 at the minimum. All of that hardware is over 9 years old. This proves how well optimized the game is on PC. Hitman III is supposed to get support for hardware-accelerated ray-tracing on Xbox Series X|S and PC at some point down the line. Developers IO Interactive have confirmed that they are working on Ray Tracing support for this title. Ray tracing will add more visual fidelity to this already spectacular game.

After studying the minimum system requirements, we can conclude that they are the same as this title’s predecessor, Hitman 2. It is kinda weird as Hitman 2 was released in 2018. It shows how well optimized this title is. The developers did work a lot, and the result is the same lower bar for the two games which are three years apart.
The recommended requirements are much higher for Hitman III. This is because the newer title is far more visually impressive as compared to its predecessor.
Hitman III is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, and Google Stadia.
