  • Free to keep and play forever?

    • Assuming you add it to your library, yes?

    • +2

      It's only the first location in the game which is free.

      • +1

        It's still free?

        • +4

          Could you please modify your title (i.e. first episode) and post content with the updated info.

          100+ hours of play isn't what's being offered here.

        • +1

          @xuqi: Please modify the modification. The first episode isn't what's being offered, it's just the prologue.

        • Yes, the first episode is Paris and this is the ICA Facility that serves as the tutorial?

  • +3

    fyi this is only episode one (out of six excl bonus mission) of the new Hitman game.

  • +7

    Free for PC, Xbox One and PlayStaiton 4

  • +1

    It has a lot of replay value. There's 31 ways of killing the dude or something in the first level.

    • +2

      Then there's the guest, the chefs, waiters, everyone!

    Since its not available yet I'm worried I'll sleep and miss it, any idea on how long its staying free?

    Gotta buffer that steam-library!

  • Yep, downloading right now on the Xbox One - 17.63 GB in size.

    IIRC, the intro pack (this one) used to be paid. Good to see it's now free.

    it's 3am and i must be lonely.

  • Did anyone get this on Steam? I can't see a button to add it to my library. I'm reading that there's supposed to be a Download Demo button but I don't see it. (I looked at 3:30am.) Is it over for Steam?

  • Systems requirements are steep but it looks amazing.

  • +1

    From all accounts this is just a demo and in fact NOT the first episode as they claim. It is sort of misleading and disappointing!

    • +2

      Few mentions of this but you're correct infact is a demo/prologue & not the the first episode Paris. Sneaky wording by IO.

  • Is it still down for everyone? Like Minimoo I don't have a button to download.

    EDIT Oh wait the twitter link says "Real Soon"

  • +1

    Xbox one users can directly go to xbox site and get this, no need to wait for steam. Here is the direct link https://www.microsoft.com/en-AU/store/p/HITMAN-/C1C6CRH9D0R4

    • Thanks, saved me trying to find this.

  • Full season 1 on sale on steam atm 66% off , 23.73USD, cheaper than cdkey sites.

  • As mentioned by johnleckie70 this is the prologue/demo rather then Episode 1: Paris. Still gives you an impression of the game & has trophies/achievements but the wording wasn't spot on.

  • +2

    Is it available now?

    E: Screw this, it's just the demo.

  • haha, i tried 2 download this but turns out i already have it in my steam library. Neat!

  • +4

    This is big news: We’re giving you a FREE DEMO!

  • apparently its just the demo thats free

    • Did you expect the whole game to be free?

      • According to the description, I expected the first episode to be free, which apparently wasnt. Its just the ICA training facilities.
