Hitman 3 (stylized as HITMAN III) is the eighth main game in the Hitman series, and the third game in the "World of Assassination trilogy." Levels from the two previous games can be played within Hitman 3 by using "Access Passes" (previously called the "Legacy Pack" in Hitman 2) with upgrades to lighting, reflections, physics, etc.

At launch, caveats exist for importing levels from previous games. See the Player Guide by IO Interactive for more information.

    Verified by disconnecting from internet, though there are no elusive targets yet. Same restrictions as Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2.

    It's easy to test with in-game settings, when you switch to Fullscreen, HDR menu option disappears.
