Hitman Adds Cross-Progression Across 10+ Platforms Feb. 3

IO Interactive announced on Thursday that cross-progression will launch for Hitman World of Assassination on February 3, allowing players to carry their in-game progress across more than 10 platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows Store, and iOS devices.

The feature comes five years after the release of Hitman 3 in January 2021, which concluded the World of Assassination trilogy and was rebranded in 2023 to incorporate content from the earlier Hitman and Hitman 2 games. Previously, progress in the game did not transfer between platforms, limiting players who switched devices or played on multiple systems. IO Interactive, the Danish developer behind the stealth-action series, stated that enabling cross-progression fulfills a long-standing goal to provide continuity for users. "Since the release of Hitman World of Assassination, it has been our wish to enable this feature for players to be able to carry on their in-game progression, whatever the device you play on," the company said in an official blog post.
