Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
Hitman: Absolution is a singleplayer first-person and third-person immersive sim and stealth game in the Hitman series.
Servers for online services were shut down in May 2018, making the Contracts mode unavailable, any Contracts related achievements unobtainable and any single-player unlocks useless.[1][2]
