Hitman 3 will support ray tracing on PC “later in 2021.” Although RT isn’t available on the release day, developer IO Interactive has stated that it will be added via a free update after the launch of the game.
IOI made the announcement alongside the reveal that it’s partnering with Intel on the PC version, back in November of last year.
