- A demo is available (progress carries over to the full game).[6]
- The game requires a constant Internet connection for some features to work properly (Elusive targets, Contracts mode, level progression, weapon unlocking, and challenge progression).[7] Unlocks made online do sync to the offline profile, however.
- All players receive the Hitman 2016 soundtrack and the "Making of" documentary, regardless of purchase history.
Monetization
- Individual DLC/levels of this game can be disabled/uninstalled in the DLC Steam menu of the game to significantly save on disk space

Issues fixed
Flickering with AMD Crossfire
- Game flickers when run on multiple AMD GPUs in Crossfire.
Change the resolution and then change back to the original resolution[15]
|
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[16]
|
- Go to the configuration file(s) location.
- Double-click on the
Refreshrate entry.
- Select Decimal and change the value to your screen refresh rate.
Notes
- On Windows, there used to be a
GFXSettings.HITMAN.xml file that had graphics settings, but the game has since been updated. As a result, the file was removed and the settings were moved to the Registry. On Linux, the XML file exists but is set up in the same coding language as a Registry entry.

Game crashes to desktop
Performance-monitoring software, like Logitech Gaming Software, can cause the game to crash. Close it before starting the game.
