Hitman: World of Assassination to add cross-platform progression next month

Hitman: World of Assassination will add long-awaited cross-platform progression in February 2026, allowing players to carry their progress across devices via their IO Interactive account, with some content restrictions.

Hitman: World of Assassination is finally getting long-requested cross-platform progression, with developer IO Interactive confirming the feature will roll out on February 3, 2026.

The update will allow players to carry their progress seamlessly across supported platforms, meaning contracts completed, mastery levels earned, and unlocks gained on one system can be continued on another.

In practice, that means a mission started on PC can be picked up later on PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch 2, provided players are logged into the same IOI Account and connected online.

Cross-progression will be handled through IO Interactive’s account system, which is also receiving a refreshed design on browsers and mobile devices ahead of the launch.

Players will need to designate a “primary platform,” which becomes the authoritative source for progression data across linked devices.

IO Interactive has noted that while progression carries over, game licenses and downloadable content do not.

Any DLC must be owned separately on each platform where cross-progression is used.

The studio is also preparing the technical groundwork for the change.

A Steam update arriving shortly before launch is designed to ensure compatibility with the new system, while older save files created outside the IOI Account ecosystem will no longer be accessible once cross-progression is active.

As part of the transition, IO Interactive has confirmed that the long-running Hitman 2 to Hitman 3 carryover process will close on the same day, locking all progression into World of Assassination going forward.

The timing of the update coincides with Hitman 3’s fifth anniversary and comes as IO Interactive’s focus increasingly shifts toward future projects, including its upcoming James Bond title, 007 First Light, due later this year.

While the studio has hinted that more Hitman content is planned, it has signalled that no major announcements are likely until its current roadmap, including a co-op mode, is complete.
