Hitman World of Assassination players are about to get one of the most requested quality-of-life upgrades: cross-progression. IO Interactive has confirmed that starting February 3, players will be able to carry their progress across platforms, making it far easier to switch between PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and other supported systems without losing momentum.
Hitman World of Assassination bundles the modern trilogy—Hitman 1, Hitman 2, and Hitman 3—into one connected experience. With cross-progression arriving next month, your progression will be stored online and shared between supported platforms linked to your IOI account. IO Interactive also plans to release a Steam patch ahead of launch to help ensure the rollout runs smoothly.
There are a few important details to understand before enabling the feature. Cross-progression uses a primary account model. That means the platform profile you choose when turning on cross-progression becomes your main progression profile, and the other linked platforms will follow it. One key limitation: old save games created on a non-primary linked account won’t be loadable once you’ve set a different profile as your primary. For players who have built up separate progress on multiple platforms, it’s worth thinking carefully about which profile you want to keep as the “main” one before you activate the feature.
As for what carries over, IO Interactive says cross-progression will include most of what matters for long-term play. Shared data includes experience and player level, challenges, location mastery, unlocks and inventory, achievements and trophies, Freelancer mode progression, and overall campaign story progress. In other words, your hard-earned progression and rewards should move with you when you jump to another system.
However, not everything transfers between platforms. Your game license and DLC license won’t be shared, and neither will DLC-based unlocks. User-created contracts also won’t carry over. So while your progression will travel with you, you’ll still need to own the game and any add-ons on each platform you plan to play on.
For fans who like to alternate between platforms—or who are thinking about moving their Hitman World of Assassination playtime to a different system—cross-progression should make the trilogy’s connected structure feel even more seamless starting February 3.
