The 2016 reboot of Hitman and its follow-up, Hitman 2 were absolute masterclasses of environmental action, puzzle-solving, and adaptation as you navigated the dark and murky world of assassination of high-value targets with Agent 47. IO Interactive is just about ready to share the latest fruits of its labor with Hitman 3 this month, but if you’ve somehow missed out or have been holding off on the first two games, then now is the chance to snap them up on the extreme cheap.

Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 (and other games in the series) are currently on sale for up to 80% across all platforms, as are bundles that package them with all of their post release and expansion content. IO Interactive calls it a Holiday Sale, but given Hitman 3’s release on January 20, 2021, it’s also a perfect chance to get up to speed ahead of the next game’s launch.
