Displeased fans are review bombing Hitman 3 on Steam due to being high-priced and including a half-baked VR mode that is currently unplayable.
Hitman 3's brand-new Steam release has taken off to a rocky start, as players are review bombing the title on the platform and blaming the developers for abusing the title's price and releasing a half-baked VR mode. IO Interactive recently announced that it had more plans for Agent 47 and revealed that Hitman 3 would continue to receive support with a Year 2 Roadmap planned out starting January 20, 2022.
The World of Assassination trilogy concluded with its third installment earlier this year, marking it the first title to be self-published by the veteran developers. Shortly after its initial release, IO Interactive revealed that Hitman 3 managed to become the biggest digital launch in the franchise’s history, selling 300% better than the previous entry in the series. These high sales came despite the controversial Epic Store exclusivity.
VR support for Hitman 3 and the trilogy was revealed in 2020 and released exclusively on the PlayStation 4 upon the title's launch. It allows the Hitman trilogy to be played for the first time exclusively in first-person mode and gives players new creative opportunities for all styles of play in its rich sandbox levels.
Hitman 3 was praised as one of the greatest games of 2021, so a sudden shift in its player base due to a broken game mode left unattended by its developers is shocking. Needless to say, despite its ongoing launch problem, the title appears to be one of Steam's best sellers today. It's unknown when IOI will respond to the backlash and make the corresponding updates, but an update can be expected soon.
