Overall they are very reasonable requirements.
It appears that graphically the game won't be too much different from the previous titles.
Hitman 2 isn't a very demanding game and it seems that Hitman 3 won't be either.
The recommended requirements ask for either a 7 year old high end Intel CPU, or a 3 year old lower mid range AMD GPU.
Along with GPUs that are 2 generations old now.
Virtually anyone with a PC capable of gaming will be able to meet the minimum requirements too, making Hitman 3 very accessible to PC gamers.
Release Date
Hitman 3 releases on Wednesday January 20th worldwide.
Platforms
Hitman 3 will be available on day 1 on PC via Epic Games Store, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and Nintendo Switch via Cloud Gaming.
No Steam Version?
Despite Hitman 1 and 2 being on Steam, Hitman 3 will be releasing exclusively on Epic Games Store.
Hitman 1 is on EGS too, however Hitman 2 currently isn't.
There is also an issue where players won't be able to bring their progress and levels from Hitman 2 over to 3, instead having to repurchase them.

IO Interactive have stated that they are looking into solutions for this issue, so hopefully that means we won't have to repurchase the game if we want the World of Assassination Trilogy all in one game.
