Update: IO Interactive has confirmed that PC Game Pass subscribers will have access to the VR versions of all three Hitman games as of today. As noted on the Hitman 3's official support page;
After the 3.100 patch on 20 January 2022, HITMAN 3 will support VR on all PC platforms that the game is available. In short, it's the game that allows you to play in VR, not the platform.
Whether you play HITMAN 3 on Steam, Epic Games Store or Windows PC (Microsoft Store), including PC Game Pass, HITMAN VR will be available to you on our supported hardware.
Original Story:
IO Interactive's phenomenal Hitman Trilogy has made its way to Xbox Game Pass today and alongside the three core games, which offer up endless top-notch stealth sandbox action, we're also being treated to a brand new mode that's been added as part of Hitman 3's Year 2 content drop.
The all-new Elusive Target Arcade launches today, kicking off with three contracts for players to get stuck into that task you with taking out multiple marks, with the difficulty increasing as you progress through a line-up of shady mugs plucked from all three games in the World of Assassination series. Fail to take down a target and you'll be forced to wait a full 12 hours before you can try again. There's exclusive rewards to grab for succeeding in Elusive Target Arcade too and, thankfully, it's not a one-time deal like the game's original Elusive Contract mode, meaning you can keep trying over and over in order to scoop up goodies.
Alongside this new mode, IO Interactive has detailed a host of other bits and bobs that are due to drop over the course of the next few months, including a brand-new map going by the name of Rocky, and, most excitingly, VR support which also arrives today on PC. We're still not 100% sure if PC players are able to jump into VR mode via their PC Game Pass subscriptions, but we'll be sure to keep you updated once we get a chance to check it all out.
For those who have been asking, Hitman Trilogy is essentially just a compilation of various Hitman 3 content on the Microsoft Store, including the Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 Access Passes. It's available to download right now, and you're looking at a file size of around 56GB to 75GB depending on the platform you're playing on.
- Hitman Trilogy (Xbox Game Pass)
- Hitman Trilogy Premium Add-Ons Bundle - £49.99 / $59.99

Going to download it over night, it's like 75+gb
So this is basically Hitman III GOTY Edition with no separate achievement list then.
Few questions
@themightyant
1. Yes
2. I don't believe so as it's just Hitman 3 plus the two Access Passes
How do I get 1 and 2 in 3 if I already own 1 and 2 in 2 Gold Edition? Do I download the trilogy and erase Hitman 2 Gold Edition? If I do that, I wouldn't own any then.
EDIT: The UI is as confusing as ever...
PCVR is supported through Game Pass as well! Time to fire up the Quest 2!

@Trmn8r Thank you for pointing this out, I've updated the story!
@PJOReilly You're welcome. There are such a small few Game Pass games that support VR, so it's great to see some more join it. Wish Fallout/Skyrim/Hellblade VR would be on Game Pass...
sure would be cool if I could plug my Quest into the Series X and access it...
guess my PC gets to suffer as I run this in VR instead.
@abe_hikura Yeah, I hear ya. I wish Xbox would partner with Oculus as well...
I really can't figure out how to get the extra locations of Hitman 2 Gold in Hitman 3.
