  4. Will HITMAN work on my Linux distro?

    HITMAN has been fully tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and SteamOS 2.0. For the best gameplay experience, we recommend you use one of these distros.

    The game should also work on other recent versions of Ubuntu, and may also work on other Linux distros; however, as the game has not been tested on these, it is possible that you will encounter performance and gameplay issues, and we do not currently offer support for other versions or distros.

  7. Can I play HITMAN with a gamepad?

    Yes.

    The game supports gamepads using the SDL 2.0 API. For more information about SDL, see the SDL Wiki.

    The gamepads in the following list have been tested and are supported by HITMAN:


    The pads below are also supported by SDL and you should be able to use them to play HITMAN. However, as they have not been tested with the game, we cannot guarantee that they will work:


    If you encounter problems when using any of the gamepads listed above, please contact our technical support team.

    * The Xbox One controller works by default with SteamOS, but will only work with Ubuntu 14.04.2 when using Linux kernel version 3.17 or above.

    ** In order to use your PlayStation pad with HITMAN, you may need to press the PlayStation button in the center of the controller after connecting the pad to your computer. This allows your computer to recognize the pad.

    Elusive Targets are one-off contracts that become available every few weeks. Each Elusive Target is only available for a limited time. The time remaining is shown by the countdown that appears over its icon in the Featured menu, accessible from the Main Menu. Once the countdown expires, you will be unable to attempt the contract.
