Preload Times For HITMAN 3

It was a time for Epic to step up their game and really say, “Yeah, we can do as good a job as Steam, maybe even better.” They’re still lagging on the basics.

So I can run HITMAN 3 for like a solid 30 Seconds before Microsoft Detects that the games not released. Figured I’d share this.

That’s a picture of Cyberpunk 2077 though…

That’s my Profile Background you can set on Xbox don’t pay attention to it. The main thing to focus here is I was in the App long enough for Xbox to change it for people to see.

So, IOI’s logo appears twice or once ?

One final thing; now that we’re the developer and publisher, we’re debating whether to include the IOI logo twice on the HITMAN 3 boot screen. We’ll keep you all informed on what we decide!

For context this is how it went for me in order of events

  • Splash Screen showing 47 and my TV Turning on Game Mode

this would lead into what I call

  • The Black Void Screen Of Loading.

what followed was Microsoft Recognizing that the game was not released yet and it would boot me out. I can’t go set my console to offline cause it will say I need to be online first to play.

I can attempt to confuse my System through questionable means though but that would involve a wired connection which I currently don’t have.

Either way at some point between now and the 19th you’ll either get a answer from me or a leak will happen about the IOI Logo. My last resort will simply be changing regions and taking advantage of the no region lock capabilities that Series X/S has and “move” to New Zealand for a day.

I downloaded last night on Xbox one. Took 3 hours on my shitty WiFi connection. 60 GB

Mine went to a title screen that was the deluxe thumbnail then did the same thing and went away.

I though this game was supposed to be just one 60 GB file with no additional episode downloads
I hope it’s just for EGS
and also, EGS still doesn’t have HITMAN 2
they should have added that before the launch of HITMAN 3
