Sniper Elite 5 is a singleplayer and multiplayer stealth, TPS and FPS in the Sniper Elite series. It was developed and published by Rebellion Developments. It features a campaign fully playable in both singleplayer and co-op, and also an invasion feature where another player can take the role of an Axis sniper to try and kill the host (and co-op partner).
Sniper Elite 5 released on Steam and Microsoft Store (as a Game Pass title) on May 26, 2022. It was also meant to release on the Epic Games Store on the same date, but was pulled from sale and all pre-orders refunded before release for unknown reasons.[1]

- Does skip the launcher and just starts the game, so does not start a benchmark or changes any settings as the name of the command line argument might suggest.... other than the note below as it forces one renderer.
