Summary

  • Hitman: World of Assassination comes to PlayStation VR2 on March 27, offering full ambidexterity and utilizing the VR platform’s capabilities.
  • Fans who own the PS5 version can upgrade to the VR version for $9.99.
  • The game had a strong start in 2025, surpassing 75 million players, and offers ongoing support with new content and features.

At long last, “Hitman: World of Assassination” will be available on PlayStation VR2 starting in March. Previously, this stealth shooter series dabbled in virtual reality through Meta Quest and the initial PSVR system, but didn’t garner as much success as its non-VR versions. However, anticipation for “Hitman: World of Assassination” on PSVR 2 has been high due to the new hardware and IO Interactive taking their time with development. Fans won’t have long to wait before they can give it a try.

2023 saw the rebranding and release of the trilogy, but it’s been a game-changer in the first half of 2025. As a gamer, I’ve witnessed the player count for World of Assassination hit an astounding 75 million, potentially making it IO Interactive’s most triumphant title yet! The team’s dedication hasn’t waned either; they’ve kept us hooked with new content such as introducing Jean-Claude Van Damme as a limited-time target from December 2024 to January 2025. And guess what? They’re not slowing down! We’re eagerly awaiting the upcoming PSVR 2 version, which is generating quite a buzz.

IO Interactive unveiled a sneak peek of the gameplay for the PSVR 2 version during the March 11 VR Games Showcase, confirming a launch date set for March 27. Sony revealed last November that the PSVR 2 port of the “World of Assassination” series would be released in 2025, following news of the game’s delay from its original planned release in December 2024 due to IO Interactive. With the wait almost over, it appears that the studio had a valid reason for pushing back the PSVR 2 launch. The newly revealed trailer highlights various VR-centric features designed to enhance player immersion.

Hitman: World of Assassination Will Arrive on PlayStation VR2 on March 27

As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled about the prospect of playing World of Assassination on PSVR 2. This game will provide me with the unique opportunity to interact with it using both hands, mirroring real-life actions like reloading, aiming, and even stealing disguises. It’s not just that; the game will also leverage the adaptive triggers of the system, allowing for spatial interactions with objects in the environment. This seems like a perfect demonstration of the platform’s capabilities, which is reassuring considering a Sony executive had to apologize for PSVR 2 following its initial launch.

If you’re among those who have the PS5 edition of “Hitman: World of Assassination,” you can upgrade to its VR version at an affordable price of $9.99. With Sony reducing the cost of PSVR 2 permanently, this could be an opportune moment for enthusiasts to explore VR. Moreover, you can purchase the PSVR 2 version of “Hitman: World of Assassination – Part One,” which contains only the maps from “Hitman 1” and some extra content, at $39.99.
