Correct, that will give you everything from Hitman 1 in Hitman 2 (and later in Hitman 3)
Thank you, will install it and then delete it once I import the legacy pack into 2
Saw the title and picked up 1 GOTY and 2 gold edition on a whim before even opening the thread. I may be too impressionable.
Then... I wonder if it would work to just download them from the Xbox store and not pay for them. With one of the latest Xbox app updates, they introduced the ability to download an app you haven't bought yet. If all it's looking for is the game data on your hard drive, and it works if you have a disk that's not inserted, I wonder if that would work. I'm obviously not condoning this, I'm just curious.
It won't be enough to have the data, you would need a license to use it too.
I've seen this alluded yo a few times in this thread. There's official word that H1 and 2 will receive substantial graphical upgrades when imported to 3? I've seen word of screen space reflection added to the first two, but nothing beyond that, ie frame rates, resolution, etc.
Because the footage I've seen from 3 looks astonishingly good.
Well, we don't 100% know, but given how the move from H1 to H2 did update the old levels quite significantly (in terms of lighting, and with the new gameplay features H2 introduced), I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing the pass for all the levels.
I need some help because I don't know what I'm missing. I already own HITMAN 2 and just got the 2016 GOTY edition on the PS4. All the content is downloaded and installed at around 60 GBs but I can't access any of it from either game, when I try again from the 2016 game to "Get Access" I'm directed to the store again and can't do anything but rate it cause it's already downloaded.
So, just to make sure:
- I own the original Hitman Season 1 digitally (PS4);
- I own Hitman 2 Gold Edition on disc (PS4).
If I want to get everything digitally, I only need te buy the Hitman 2 base game, right? I already have the Hitman 2 expansion pass through my physical Gold Edition and buying the digital base game should give me the right to the free Legacy Pack upgrade for Hitman (Season 1).

Another question.. I have the first hitman game, if I have the free tutorial version of hitman 2,can I import hitman 1 maps into 2 if that makes sense?
I have Hitman 2 yet I fear I'll have franchise fatigue if I buy the first one and the third one.

I believe so. HITMAN 3 - Dartmoor - IO Interactive Scroll down to the pre-orders section

So Hitman 1 GOTY + Hitman 2 Gold + Hitman 3. No bundle per se.
thanks for this! I bought the Hitman GOTY on epic store for $4.99 with the $10 off coupon(14.99 originally) and then bought Hitman 2 GOTY on CD keys for $12. Both these games for $17 and change is crazy.
question, since one game is on Epic Store and other is on Steam, can I transfer Hitman 1 to steam?

Nope :( They must be on the same platform.
You can request the refund though, and get it really cheap on CDKeys for Steam: https://www.cdkeys.com/hitman-game-of-the-year-edition-pc-steam-cd-key
So I bought Hitman 1 GOTY and Hitman 2 Gold, activated them on Steam, then installed only Hitman 2. When I jump into Hitman 2, it seems to believe I don't have access to any of the Hitman 1 maps. If I look at the DLC in the Steam Store, it looks like I'm missing the Legacy Pack. I could've sworn that was all included in Hitman GOTY? Do I actually need to have Hitman 1 installed first before installing Hitman 2?
Everything got imported to my Hitman 2 but not immediately. I didn't have 1 installed. I believe it will tell you when it's importing the levels. Have you finished the first mission?
EDIT: I did play some of Hitman 1 before though (years ago) but I doubt that should matter.
I did the tutorial last night, then it asked me if I wanted to start in Hitman 1 or go to Hitman 2. When I chose to go to Hitman 1, it basically said 'Get Access' on every level, telling me to pick up the Legacy Pack. I'll give it another spin later tonight and see if it'll start importing 'em!
It's kinda crazy Hitman 1 just released and now there's a gap of over 1300 days between Hitman 2 and 3.
It's flawless. Even improved, given how some of the gameplay features from 2 got implemented into those levels.
There's absolutely no reason to play H1 anymore (well, some escalations are missing in the transfer, but not much of value is lost)
Thanks. So all I need to buy is this Legacy pack to unlock the Hitman 1 missions in 2?
I believe there is small campaign that is only accessible within the Hitman 1 client (the Sarajevo Six if I recall correctly).
And, in particular, those are Playstation exclusive, so any other platform doesn't even have it.

I would wait to play them on H3, they will be there day 1 if you already own them.
And yes, if it's like the Hitman 2 menu, they are ordered chronologically and by campaign, so you can play them in order as if you were playing the games themselves.
So I'm still lost on this whole "play Hitman 1 and 2 in Hitman 3" idea.
I haven't played any of the Hitmen (I got H1 for free via Epic fwiw) but I'm somewhat interested to try them. Why should I buy all of them at once instead of just playing H1? And then H2? What does importing mean in this context?
AuthenticM I love you and wish you all the best in life. I fucking love these games!! I'd have completely missed out on buying it for my console (I wish there were cross platform purchases) had I not seen this thread just now!
Because, when H3 comes out, you will be able to play all the levels, missions and get all the gadgets from H1 and H2 in H3. With all the improvements H3 brings to the table, gameplay and graphic wise. The import of H1 into H2 already improved those levels quite a bit.
Also, for example, whatever you unlock playing H3 levels could be used in the H1/H2 missions, and viceversa, so it opens new alternatives for those.
Basically, you would get a macro game in H3, with all the progression and unlocks available for the whole trilogy.
So Hitman 1 came out in 2016 - would I essentially get to play it in the exact same engine of this year's Hitman 3? Meaning it'd be like a free "remaster" of that title? Plus get to play H1 with all the mechanics that they've developed since?
Yeah that does sound pretty tasty I'll admit, if not like a bit of a commitment given that I don't know if I'll like them lol A trilogy pack at a discount would be prime.
i have unique scenario. I played hitman 1 on ps4, but i played hitman 2 on steam. is there any chance, through IO account or something, that i'll get access to all of the content on either ps5 or EGS?
Yes it's an upgrade, visually and mechanically. They typically don't change the gameplay much between episodes, but still. Also a few new gadgets (tranq gun was introduced in H2, so was the vomit gun for instance)
Yes, it's basically that. You would be playing Hitman 1 (or 2) levels with all the improvements (both in graphics and gameplay) from Hitman 3, free remaster is not a bad way of putting it.
Vomit gun wat
Last question - how does it actually work on PC? The import I mean.
I got Hitman 1 on Epic and I'd need to get the GOTY upgrade for that.
Hitman 2 is not on there, but it's on Steam.
Then again, Hitman 3 is supposed to be Epic exclusive.
Or does it not matter where you buy it from?
Either Hitman 2 comes out on Epic, or you would need Hitman 1 on Steam as well, import that to H2 Steam, and then both to H3 Epic.
We don't know the detailed process yet (probably automatic with the IOI account), but the idea they've said is that:
- Hitman 1 Steam -> Hitman 2 Steam
- Hitman 2 Steam (with the H1 content) -> Hitman 3 Epic
Sadly, there´s no Hitman 1 Epic -> Hitman 2 Steam. I don't know if there's a direct H1 -> H3 either.
But, what they've said, is that the content of those games can be purchased ingame, so even if H2 is not on EGS, you could buy everything from it from within H3.
Damn you were fast enough to catch my accidentally sent attempt of my post.
I see. So say if I didn't get H2, there's no way for me to play H1 in H3 either? Meaning that the imports are stacked?
I feel super dumb, seems like IOI needs an FAQ of sorts for this.
more details on Steam -> EGS
This is what we know (a summary of what IOI has said):
Will I be able to carry over my progression and locations from HITMAN 2 or 2016?
- Progress carryover works for both physical and digital versions of the game, as long as you own the game and have played it.
- You will be able to carry over progression only from HITMAN 2 (base game + DLC + Legacy). But you will be able to carry over locations from both HITMAN 2016 and HITMAN 2. (Progression carryover is optional.)
- !! STEAM TO EPIC GAMES PROGRESS TRANSFER WILL BE POSSIBLE !! (THE SPECIFICS ARE NOT KNOWN YET. THIS THREAD WILL BE UPDATED ONCE WE KNOW SPECIFICALLY HOW THE PROGRESS TRANSFER WILL WORK.) Cross-platform progression carryover details not known at the moment. Epic Games Store to Steam progression carryover details not known at the moment.
- People who do not already own HITMAN 2016 and/or HITMAN 2 will be able to buy the levels through HITMAN 3. So don't worry if you don't own the past 2 games.

For whatever reason, Hitman Gold Edition shows as "Not available for purchase" when I'm logged out. When I log in, the page / icon don't even seem to load?
I wonder if this has anything to do with PS+
Although, I only need Hitman 2 Gold Edition to get all the levels from 1 & 2? (and eventually play them with the enhancements / PSVR via 3?)
