Hitman gets update to improve offline play

One of 2016’s sleeper hits is getting an update to close out November.

Hitman, the episodic assassination-based action adventure, is getting an update today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC that features a number of improvements, according to a blog post from developer IO Interactive. The biggest addition is an “offline profile” that will enable you to continue using items you earned online even when you cannot connect to web. Previously, you could earn special weapons, gear, and starting points by completing challenges that were only available when you connected to publisher Square Enix’s servers — but now those items will carry over into your offline play. This means you don’t need to spring for the shoddy Wi-Fi just to enjoy Hitman to its fullest during your flight home for the holidays.
