The first episode of Hitman hit current-gen platforms earlier this month, allowing players to dive right into Square Enix’s latest action-adventure stealth video game and play the prologue, which acts as a prequel to the series. While developer IO Interactive prepares the game’s next chapter with new content and cities to explore, PC modding community has started to do their work and give a makeover to the third-person shooter by enhancing its graphics and visual elements.
However, as expected, it is advised that players avoid using Hitman’s DirectX 12 feature for now, as it doesn’t seem to be fully optimized and is currently causing issues like freezing and crashing. IO Interactive is already working on a patch to fix things, and while you wait for the update, you can try out the visual improvements that the SweetFX mod has to offer for the game. Thanks to this new Reshade config – called “Enchanced Clarity And Lighting” – by Panopticon, you can now sharpen the game’s image quality and add other minor visual tweaks.
Here is a screenshot comparison showing how Hitman performs graphically while running with the SweetFX mod compared to original visuals.
