Regular readers will know we’re huge fans of Hitman World of Assassination. For our money, it’s one of the best games you can currently play on the PS5 – and now it’s one of the best games you can currently play on PSVR2 as well.

While the original version of Hitman 3 shipped with PSVR support, the limitations of Sony’s original headset let IO Interactive’s ambition down.

But now, with the improved performance and control capabilities of PSVR2, you’re looking at arguably the definitive way to play the game.

The thing about Agent 47’s exploits is they’re goofy, and the virtual reality version really captures that. Dropping banana skins is fun on the base game, but it takes on a whole new level of satisfaction inside Sony’s headset, as this launch trailer demonstrates.

Now it’s worth noting that the PSVR2 version isn’t free; you’ll need to purchase it from the PS Store as a DLC pack for £7.99/$9.99. But it’s clear the developer has put an enormous amount of work into this, so we think that small fee seems reasonable to reward its effort.

We’ll have more on this new mode in the coming days, so stay tuned for that if you’re still on the fence.
