This is a big news for one reason, the original two Hitman games take up roughly 125 GB on PS4/PS5, so the fact that adding a whole new game won’t increase the size further, but reduce it to under 100 GB, is noteworthy on its own.

If you own Hitman 1 and 2 and get Hitman 3, you will also benefit from improved visuals in addition to the reduced file size. As explained by the developer, “we upgraded the engine with screenspace reflections. Best thing? It’s backwards compatible with the previous two games in the trilogy and lots of surfaces has been upgraded.”

“Yeah you guys are right those are not screenspace reflections. And yeah we definitely hade reflections in the other two games, but we have indeed upgraded the engine with screenspace reflections (for base ps4/xbox one too) and so there will be much more reflected goodness this time around. As an example, the Paris fashion show catwalk floor is now fully reflecting the models and the rest of the room, making the whole scenario look way more impressive ”
