The Hitman games by IO Interactive are arguably the best stealth games to play right now. Hitman 3, which was released in 2021, took all the best elements of its former entries and revamped them to deliver what is now considered the best game in the long-running series.
Despite being the sequel to Hitman 2, Hitman 3 is now the eighth installment in the Hitman lineup, once again putting players in control of the iconic Agent 47 to complete six high-stakes assassinations successfully using any means desired.
The fact that each assassination can be approached and completed in an infinite number of ways is what has given the recent Hitman games their acclaimed replayability factor.
Hitman 3 was released for Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, and PC. But if you’re wondering what the necessary specs are to play Hitman 3 on PC, this simple guide has you covered.
Below, see if your PC is up to par for both the minimum system requirements and recommended system requirements to run Hitman 3, pulled from Hitman 3’s official Steam page.
