Hitman 3 came to Steam just a few days ago, however, people were not happy with the release. Do not get me wrong, the game is quite amazing. However, it is the treatment that the Steam users got that left a sour taste in their mouths. Well, Hitman 3 was released a year before its release on Steam for Epic Games Store, and it was an Epic Games Store exclusive title for one entire year. When it came to Steam, people expected discounted pricing, or maybe free upgrade options. However, that did not happen, the price on Steam was the same as the listing price on Epic Games Store a year back. What made it even worse is that during Christmas Epic Games Store had amazing discounts on Hitman 3.

So, Steam users thought that injustice was done to them with the pricing for a game that a year old, and also no free upgrade options, or anything enticing for that matter. However, IO Interactive has now changed this to appease the Steam users, and admits that the Hitman 3 launch on Steam did not go as they had planned. They were excited to bring Hitman 3 to Steam along with new content. The expectations of the Steam userbase were not met by IO Interactive, and they did not like the fact that their Steam community members were beginning their journey in this way.

To improve the situation, IO Interactive is now offering free updates to all the Steam users that either own the Hitman Trilogy, or the Hitman 3 (Standard or Deluxe Edition). In the event that you own neither of these, you can purchase it on Steam before February 19, to get the free upgrade. So, what will be the upgrade path be like? If you own the Hitman 3 Standard Edition, you will get an upgrade to the Hitman 3 Deluxe Edition. If you own the Hitman Trilogy or Hitman 3 Deluxe Edition, then you will get a free upgrade to the Seven Deadly Sins collection. All you have to do is own the games (Trilogy, Standard, or Deluxe) and start the game on Steam, and that is all.
