Hitman 3 is full of secrets. The game has plenty of hidden features and storylines that players can explore and find all over the world. With the final installment of the game, IO Interactive wanted to ensure that players could get as many stealth and secrets as possible in the game. This includes an awesome secret ending.

With this ending, you’ll not only get new information, but you’ll also get the A New Father feat for completing it. It’s good to play the game through normally, but it’s definitely worth circling back to the secret ending to check it out.

Unlocking the secret ending in Hitman 3

Unlocking the secret ending to Hitman 3 is actually pretty easy — it just requires a tiny bit of patience on your part. We’re encouraging you to do a straight playthrough of the game, then circle back to the secret ending. However, you can play as you want. Additionally, this article has a few spoilers about the secret ending, so be careful how quickly you read.

By the end of Hitman 3, you’ll find yourself circling Romania on a Providence train. Your target is the Constant, along with anyone on the train. Literally anyone on board that train is a viable target. That actually makes this level extremely fun because you can execute absolutely anyone without consequence. Regardless of whether or not you decide to murk everyone, you’ll eventually find yourself reaching the Constant, who will calmly accept his fate. But he will make you an offer, though. Just like previous Providence assassins, you’ll be offered to use the serum again and “surrender to your true nature.”

Agent 47 will initially reject the offer, and the game will leave you watching the Constant at a mirror with a plethora of options to kill him with. There will be a gun, fiber wire, and an ax at your disposal to take out the Constant. You can also use the serum to wipe the Constant’s memory, which is definitely a fun choice. But to get the secret ending, simply wait a minute. Seriously, just wait 60 to 70 seconds. This will trigger the secret ending. After about 60 seconds, the Constant will start talking again, and you’ll get the option to inject yourself again. Selecting this option will start the secret ending.

For those who want to see the secret ending themselves, stop reading here. But if anyone is interested in what the ending is, we do have some spoilers coming up about it.

If you do choose to inject yourself the second time it’s offered, 47 will pass out. Once you wake up, you’ll be somewhere very familiar to all Hitman fans. Welcome to a padded cell with a barred door. The constant will come and say some words to you, which sound just like the starting lines of the original game: “Wake up, my friend. It’s the dawn of a new day, and you have things to do.”

Is Baldur’s Gate 3 cross-platform?
A Baldur's Gate 3 character lights the way.

The biggest CRPG of 2023, if not ever, promises a huge adventure that you are encouraged to play cooperatively with up to four friends. While online play is expected in the modern era, Baldur's Gate 3 surprisingly also supports split-screen co-op on every PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X as well, meaning you can run an entire campaign with a friend side-by-side. As great as all that is, the vast majority of people will likely want to play with a friend in the comfort of their own homes, which might mean a PC and console player will want to team up. Is that possible in Baldur's Gate 3? Here's a quick rundown of whether this is a cross-platform game.
Is Baldur's Gate 3 cross-platform?
In short, no, Baldur's Gate 3 will not allow for cross-platform play just like Elden Ring or Palworld. If you are playing on PC, then anyone you want to play online with will also need to be on PC, and the same is true for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. While this is true for now, it is possible that Larian Studios may add cross-platform play in a future update, but for now, it is safer to assume it won't come and make your purchasing decision accordingly.

The only small silver lining here is that Baldur's Gate 3 does have cross-platform progression. This means that if you purchase the game on one platform, you can carry your save to any other. While not ideal, it is at least an easier way to move between platforms to play with a friend if that's your only option.

How to access all secret exits in Astro Bot
Astro Bot rides on a PS5 controller.

Not only has Astro Bot shot its way up to become one of the best PlayStation 5 games, but it is also in the conversation for the best 3D platformer among the likes of Mario. Besides the great graphics, tight platforming, and creative levels and powers, there are tons of things to collect in each world. Bots are the most common, and puzzle pieces are a bit more rare, but it is the secret exits that will have you scratching your head. There are only 10 of these in the entire game, with two per nebula. If you want to collect every Trophy, you will need to track them all down, so we'll point you in the right direction of every secret exit.
All secret exits in Astro Bot
As mentioned, there are 10 secret exits divided between each of the game's five nebulas. We'll go through each to show you where they are hidden.

As you progress with the snake gloves in this level, you will come to this room, where you need to use them to yank a red square out of the wall to spawn a bug you can use as a bounce pad to reach the upper area. Before you do, use it to punch all four of the torches on this wall to open it up and reveal the exit.

Is Borderlands 3 cross-platform?
Borderlands 3 characters preparing for a gunfight.

The original Borderlands was the first game to popularize the looter shooter genre that mixes first-person shooting with the satisfying loot grind of Diablo 4. While many other games, such as Destiny 2 and The First Descendant, have taken the genre in the live-service direction, the Borderlands games have remained focused on the core single and co-op experience. Borderlands 3 in particular is a far better experience playing with friends than alone. Since it came out at such an odd time, this game is spread across not only all consoles, but also multiple generations. That means it has a lot more work to do if it is going to be a fully cross-platform game. Let's see if it manages to bring all the systems together, or id ut leaves some on their own like Valorant.
Is Borderlands 3 cross-platform?
