Hitman 3’s hotly anticipated Year 2 update is available to download now on the PlayStation 5 and PS4, with the file size weighing in at a whisker over 2GB or so. The headline addition – on consoles, at least – is the new Elusive Target Arcade, which includes permanent additions of multi-faceted missions featuring these previously time-limited targets.
“Our launch batch of three Arcade Contracts will be added to Hitman 3, one for each game in the trilogy,” Danish developer IO Interactive explains. “Across the launch batch of Arcade Contracts, you’ll be able to revisit 11 different Elusive Targets across 10 locations. The three contracts will be permanently available via the Arcade, whether you succeed or not.”
Completing any one of the three Elusive Target Arcade missions will unlock the Krugermeier 2-2 Dark for use across the rest of the game. The update also cleans up a number of bugs, including some audio issues on PS5 and more specific gameplay glitches across a number of the release’s regions.

The PS5 audio glitch is finally seemingly fixed! Rejoice! It only took them a year!
Elusive Target Arcade??? That is my main gripe! Maybe I'll jump in now.
If only they release a physical copy of the trilogy with all dlc, I would be so happy.
Is the roguelike mode not coming to console?
Edit: I just had the release date wrong, it's not out anywhere yet.
@Raincloud_1 Be patient enough and maybe they will in a year or two?
@Raincloud_1 Ah yes, a physical copy with all DLC of a game which requires a constant internet connection 😂
i like the game series... but with the new way they're doing the game.. i dont like it. i prefer absolution type levels. not huge levels and "here... here's a random mission.. on the same level... but in a different area of a pointlessly huge map.. go do it.. again and again!" boring. but thats just me.
@Pixelated that's how the entire series has been, other than absolution. They're puzzle games, jam-packed with Easter eggs - if that's not something that appeals to you, you're not going to like any of them.
@theheadofabroom well i mean lately the series just started to be HUGE open world levels. after absolution. hitman 1, 2, contracts, blood money.. all had fairly small levels in comparison to the games today. i prefer the areas to be smaller. telling me "hey, a new target is available this week, on the same map, but at the other end of the map" doesnt do much to get me back into the game lol. i generally get all the trophies for a hitman game and then im done till the next. but the new series? i cant keep interest in.
