USGamer: “Here's to hoping the post-launch content is just as rich, if not better than season one's.
Hitman: Season 1 is arguably one of the best uses of an episodic structure, because it never waited too long in between episodes and peppered in limited time "Elusive Targets" and other challenges to keep you interested and coming back too. In an era of games as services, Hitman: Season 1 was one of the rare examples of keeping players engaged in a healthy, exciting way, and it's why every episode felt exciting to explore even for your tenth time. (Minus the lackluster Colorado episode.)
Thus, learning that Hitman 2 won't be adopting the same structure is a big disappointment. From a business perspective, it's probably the smarter deal—and I'm sure there are fans out there happy about this change. But as someone who considers Hitman one of the best games of 2016, I'm worried that cramming everything Hitman 2 has to offer in one single release might hinder it. It's easy to burn out on a game like Hitman, and with all the content being available at launch, it might be a bit too much for the assassin. It's being turned into a binge game now, rather than one to be carefully savored with each bite.”
Cultured Vultures: With the World of Assassination Trilogy wrapped up, here's our thoughts on the best and the worst in the series.

We’ve got more coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass soon; some are even available today! Whether you’re looking to squad up with your friends to take on a constantly evolving alien threat, become a world class assassin, or planning to brush up on your dog photography skills (we’ve seen them on Instagram!), we’ve got you covered. Let’s dig into the games!"
Gamepass just eating a bowl of W's cereal this month! I need to sub for a few more years before the price goes up!
Agreed. Once my sub runs out in the next couple of months, I'm buying 3 years of gold to convert to Gamepass. I probably won't be able to afford Gamepass after those 3 years are up.
Games with gold will be long gone by then...I hope...since its kinda useless.
Gamepass...I wonder what the price hike will be.
Does anyone know if the trick of converting existing XBL Gold into XB gamepass ultimate up to 36 months for ONE dollar still exists? Also, i assume i have to wait for my gamepass ultimate to expire in a few months before i can take advantage of any promotions? Thanks
It's never been 1$ for me. I always have to buy one month for $15. Normally I just do one year at a time. So $60 for one year of gold, then $15 for one month of game pass ultimate and I get 13 months of game pass ultimate for a total of $75.

Best deal in gaming hands down! And it’s only going to get better with Bethesda and soon Activision games on board.
Death's Door is seriously a fantastic game. I highly recommend everyone play it.
I have never played a Hitman so this is absolutely great news for me
GP just keeps getting better
Here's a step by step guide on how to do it:
1) Redeem Hitman 2 off PS Plus and then download the Hitman 3 Starter Pack.
2) Claim Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 2 Standard off the PS Store.
3) Play Hitman 2 through Hitman 3 by launching the PS5 Starter Pack.
Confirmed by the devs that you can't, you must have a full copy of Hitman 3 in order to play in vr.
Yup - and Hitman 1 as well! They're both played by importing into Hitman 3, which apparently also updates the visuals!
When trying to download the access pass it says 'Not available for purchase' and the only option is to add it to the wishlist.
Any clue what to do?
I can also confirm that this works. Wonderful!
Hopefully Sony doesn't mind this neat little trick and we can keep continue playing this game with a better performance.
Not really...it's the best news I've heard with the announcement
Most people are probably happy about it, you can always play it episodic if you like
To me it was completely ruined but going in the direction did and the long delay before it came out properly on disc was a joke very happy with the news to be honest
Love that it's not episodic.
This writer is one of the most negative people in the industry.
"What made episodic Hitman so great was that it allowed me to take my time exploring its large-scale levels."
Seriously, if that's your biggest gripe then why write the article at all? Just take your time with the game. Each mission end, save, whatever, can be your episode end. Then you can wait days, weeks, a month, and start again after you've absorbed each level or your heart becomes content.
