If you have been hoping to play the acclaimed mobile game Hitman GO on a bigger screen, and on an older Windows PC, then make a note of Feb. 23 on your calendar. That's when Square Enix will release the game via Steam, for the price of $7.99.
The game, which combines real-time strategy and puzzle gameplay elements, was first released in 2014 for iOS and Android. In 2015 Square Enix released Hitman GO for Windows Phone and Windows 8.1. Its release on Steam means it can be played on older PCs (running all the way back to Windows 7) for the first time. Square Enix says:
"It's basically the good old Hitman GO you loved on mobile, with updated visuals and all the great content we added on to it including my personal favorites, the Paris Opera from Blood Money, and the St. Petersburg Stakeout mission from Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.
The Steam version will include support for Steam achievements, trading cards, emojis, wallpaper and, cloud saves. The game will also be released on that date for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita consoles. So far, there's no word if Hitman GO will also make an appearance for the Xbox One.

Hitman GO is coming to Steam and older Windows PCs on Feb. 23
Good to hear
If I had to guess about it coming to the Xbox One, they are probably just going to wait till the new Windows 10 store hits and just update the app to a universal app so it goes out to all platforms as one.
Will be steam for Windows phone? :D
Great, but no thanks for me.
On my birthday! :)
I'm not much of a mobile gamer but this is one game where I'd gladly pay for DLC in the form of new levels.
I'm not a mobile gamer too. I would spend my gaming time on PC or console. This game however, is the only mobile game that I haven't delete within 20 mins of playing, it's amazing and challenging. Are there other games like it?
Same here, re: deleting after 20 mins, usually less. Lara Croft GO is close but easier. Grandpa and the Zombies is a great puzzler with similar gameplay as both but very different graphical style. Rote is a nice puzzler too.
I bought Lara Croft GO just now for 1$, sweet sale. I will give those other games a try, thank you.
How about continuum to tv?
Incidentally, Lara Croft GO is just $0.99 in the Windows Store for the next few days. Single price pays for Windows and Mobile.
I like how Sqaure Enix took the same game concept and made them quite unique between the two games.
thanks wpguy, well spotted. bought
Yup saw that this morning and bought it. Wish it was live enabled but...
Good... But just a mobile game for traditional PC??? No thanks. It's only good for touch enabled ultrabooks.
Lol a bit of recoding & adjusting for more pixels
Steam Central in action :-D
Good to see it comes to more users, but it will be a bit annoying if the Steam version gets cloud sync for saves. I always wanted that in the Windows Store version to sync progress between devices.
