Hitman’s day 4 patch hopes to fix the major problems with the game
It’s no secret that Hitman 3 VR: Reloaded has not released in the best state. In fact by all accounts it has been a disaster. I haven’t had the chance to finish the game yet but the graphical issues are unbelievable for a major release.
However XR Games has finally released the details for their first major patch of the game. The patch should be rolling out today, hopefully it helps bring the game up to a better standard, but to be honest there is a lot of work to do to get it there.
