Hitman: Sniper Challenge Allows Players to Test Their Skills

The PC version of Hitman: Sniper Challenge dropped today, exclusive to people who pre-ordered the game.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions have been available for a few months, and now PC players can join the action, competing for the top spot on the leaderboard.

“IO is fully committed to delivering a PC version of Hitman: Absolution that lives up to the high standards of our PC community,” said Jon Brooke, brand director of the Hitman Franchise. “Hitman: Sniper Challenge will give them a first taste of what’s to come.”

The best part of this tasty game is the fact that players who download and install the game are automatically entered into monthly drawings. And to make sure players continue to play, the top North American sniper will win a trip for 2 to Copenhagen, Denmark to meet the Hitman: Absolution development team and have their likeness incorporated into the next game.

Until then, players will win several monthly prizes:
