If I own the PS4 releases of the two previous hitman games, what do I need to do to import them into my PS5 release of Hitman 3? Do I need to buy the PS4 release of H3, then upgrade to the PS5 release, or can I simply buy the PS5 release directly?

They haven't detailed the exact process yet but going directly to PS5 should work. Be weird if they didn't allow it.
It should. Going digital to physical between 1 and 2 worked at least.
Yeah, zero reason if they are going to do it digitally, it can't be done on the physical release outside deliberately pushing towards digital. Scummy.
A good place to start would be giving the free PS5 upgrade for physical owners.
Awesome, it's a day one purchase for me. Do they have plans for later DLC levels like with Hitman 2? The Deluxe version does not mention anything.
tbh, I think we're very lucky to even get a Hitman 3. I don't think the series sells as well as it should.
A patch or an upgrade. Plenty of games offer them even with the physical version.
The way all crossgen titles that are offering upgrades are doing it? Just keep the PS4/Xbox One disc inserted and have the next gen version downloaded, and you just have to keep the disc. Not hard.
Yeah, I was about to say, I thought that was wrong.
So... no Season Pass, then? Nice. And hopefully there's a motherfucking Platinum Trophy for Hitman 3.
You have to keep the PS4/XBO disc on the PS5/XS tray. Like it was with some games that allowed you to "upgrade" your physical PS3 copy to a PS4 version.

Honestly, after Hitman 3, now that they are self-publishing, I really hope that they go back to the episodic release format of the first game. It's just so perfect for both pacing and discussion. One map is released, the player plays it a lot, does everything. Then they go online and just talk about it with everyone. Then 6 or so weeks later, a new map is released. Repeat.
I miss the discussions prompted by that format.
Yep, Hitman is just great, still playing through Hitman 2 atm and the game just keeps on giving. easily one of the most "immersive" games together with Prey this gen.
Escalations are challenge missions that add in more objectives when you complete them. Think of them as a challenge mode based on existing stages and locations. They're not something to worry about missing if you don't want those versions.
Why does it have to be one or the other? Why are you happy about the removal of choice and ownership?
Oh shit digital only?
Between this, digital only consoles at launch, high sales share, and the way next gen upgrades for games are being handled, really feels like this gen is going to be a turning point.
Same weirdos that praise the removal of the headphone jack. Fuck knows.

Fully agree with that. I loved the episodic release of Hitman 1. Definitely encouraged me to squeeze out the max from each episode rather than just picking a favourite and playing that more than the others.
hey I was just doing the same as all those threads/post with people praising physical copies.. most of the time they despise digital games..
of course it should be both ... choice is and always will be king.. but personally I have long ago abandoned physical games..
Well I don't care for digital content except convenience, doesn't mean I want it to go away. It has its benefits. I also hope it never becomes the only way to buy movies or games. That would be boring and limiting.
I'm considering getting Hitman 3 at launch as long as it's episodic. I feel like I missed out on the original in that regard, as I didn't purchase it until all of the episodes were already out, thinking I'd prefer to just binge my way through them. I barely played it. I more recently purchased the content I was missing for Hitman 2 and played through the content for both 1 and 2 for the first time, and I just kind of feel that the flexibility of the game was sort of lost on me. I felt no compulsion to play through missions more than once, and my lack of patience more or less resulted in every mission involving me waiting for a decent shot to open up so I could attempt an escape and wait for everything to settle down. I want to experience 3 as it's released if it's episodic like the original, just to see if that affects how I end up playing it.
