When Nvidia announced the latest batch of games getting ray tracing support earlier this month, I was heartbroken to learn that Hitman 3 wasn t among them. I m still quite early on in my Hitman 3 adventures, but you only need to take one look at its gorgeous opening Dubai level to know that this would make a great ray tracing game. Just look at those polished floors waxed within an inch of their lives! They re crying out for some ray traced reflections, those. And all that glass! It needs to happen.
The good news is that Hitman 3 will be getting ray tracing support at some point in the future. We still don t know when it s going to arrive just yet, but developers IO Interactive did, in fact, confirm last November that they ll be adding ray tracing to the PC version of the game after launch later in 2021 . Naturally, I m hoping this will be sooner rather than later, but I imagine we ll probably get it at the same time next-gen consoles
