Hitman: Absolution falls to $1.99 as Steam cuts Agent 47’s adventure by 90%
Hitman: Absolution is $1.99 on the US Steam store, a 90% reduction from its displayed $19.99 price. That is an $18 saving on IO Interactive’s Agent 47 adventure.
The deal covers the Windows PC game and is scheduled to end November 16, according to the Steam listing. It is a digital purchase, and the price can differ outside the US store.
Released in 2012, Absolution puts players in the shoes of the familiar suited assassin as he pursues a personal assignment. It is a separate game from the newer Hitman World of Assassination collection.

Disguises, stealth and a choice of approaches
IO Interactive describes a story in which Agent 47 is betrayed by the Agency and pursued by police. The game’s missions let players adapt their approach, whether that means slipping past enemies or fighting their way through an encounter.

Disguises are part of the toolkit. The developer says 47 can take an opponent’s clothing to blend in, while Instinct mode helps players assess movement and find opportunities in a location.
Steam lists the game as single-player, with achievements and cloud saves. The store page also lists family sharing, though access to particular Steam features can depend on the account and setup.

Check the PC requirements
The original minimum specifications on Steam include a dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, a GeForce 8600 or AMD equivalent with 512MB of video memory, and 24GB of storage. The recommended listing raises memory to 4GB.
Those are older game requirements and refer to Windows versions that predate current Steam client support. Check Steam’s current operating-system requirements and your own PC before buying rather than assuming every legacy system listed for the game can run today’s client.
The $1.99 offer is for Hitman: Absolution itself. Steam can also show add-ons or other entries in the series, so check the name in your cart before paying.
The comparison is with Steam’s displayed $19.99 price, not a claim that this is the lowest the game has ever cost. Confirm the price and offer date on your account before completing the purchase.
