Are people streaming this game yet? I might check out a stream later tonight if anyone has some favorite Hitman streamers
Ah ok, good to know it's prominent! Thanks!Yep, the webpage is one of the first things you're notified about when the game boots, but the page isn't live yet.
It's not online yet until the game officially comes out at 1pm UTC.Just started playing this on PS5, is anyone else having issues connecting to the online server?

Hmmm, I dunno if I wanna blow through the story so I don't have to worry about spoilers or take my time exploring each level :/
There's meant to be a video giving a summary of the story so far at the start of the game.
On console? Just need to download Hitman 1, open it and redeem + download the legacy pack.I just bought all of the games. Do I need to download 1 or 2 at all to get that content in 3?
Yeah bought it on PS5There's meant to be a video giving a summary of the story so far at the start of the game.
Alternatively can just watch the cutscenes from 1&2 on Youtube. They're like 30m a pop.

Then yeh, just need to download Hitman 1 first, then open it and redeem + download the legacy pack. Then you'll be able to claim both access passes when Hitman 3 goes live.
Awesome thanks for the reply!Then yeh, just need to download Hitman 1 first, then open it and redeem + download the legacy pack. Then you'll be able to claim both access passes when Hitman 3 goes live.
If you wanted to, could just watch a Youtube video of the cutscenes from Hitman 2 and then start on 3. Then you can go back and do the missions from Hitman 2 afterwards.Decided to just go ahead and buy this after seeing the reviews. Having all three games in a single SKU seems like it's going to be a blessing and a curse, I think. A blessing because it's convenient, and provides an incredible amount of content for the upcoming months. A curse because, well, the exact same reasons. Having so much content, half of which I haven't played (I only did the tutorial and Miami in 2...) is going to be a difficult thing to sift through. Though I guess part of that anxiety stems from me wanting to be 'in the conversation' for this.

They're really good levels. I usually go solo without stories/prompts for the first run through and Mumbai was just *chef's kiss*I might just do that, yeah. Or go through the Hitman 2 levels quickly before going through the 3 ones; mission stories definitely make that a lot easier. Shouldn't take more than a week either way seeing as I've got a lot of free time on my hands lol
I'm the same. I moved to XSX (found Hitman 2 Gold cheap) because I'll be returning this PS5 and lord knows if the next one, and don't want to be stuck without it now it's going to have so much content under it. At the same time I'm super tempted to grab it on the PS5 (where I already have Hitman 1 & H2: Gold) as well for the Dualsense and VR missions.I'm so fucking ready to dive in. I almost considered rebuying a PlayStation camera and double dipping for the PS4 version just so I can play in VR on my PS5 but that's a hell of a lot of hassle.

For what it's worth, I just bought the PS5 version on my PS5, and it downloaded only the PS5 version. Didn't have any PS4 downloads occur. But is this because I only bought the PS5 version? Does that not come with the PS4 version, and therefore psvr?
The website hasn't been launched officially yet.Who has the game? Did you carry your progress over? The carry over website won't load for me.
Just need to wait for the game to go live:Just picked up my PS5 copy here in sunny Straya.
Will I be able to actually play the game today, or do I need to wait for IOI servers to be up at midnight?
That servers are up, reviewers have been playing itJust picked up my PS5 copy here in sunny Straya.

You can go to https://library.playstation.com/recently-purchased to have it download the PS4 version, if you want.For what it's worth, I just bought the PS5 version on my PS5, and it downloaded only the PS5 version.

That's odd – people who have the disc version early in this thread can't connect to the server. Figured reviewers would have had accounts whitelisted or something.
you mean the time that most US players usually have to wait until?This global unlock time really, really blows. Basically have to wait until close to midnight on the 21st to play here (Singapore).
Ah, you might be right. There are a bunch of people who have it and are playing on Xbox right now, it doesn't look like they are reviewers, but maybe they are playing the game without connecting to the server.That's odd – people who have the disc version early in this thread can't connect to the server.

Perhaps, would be interesting to get clarity from people here who have it early to be sure. Certainly jealous of those playing it either way haha.Ah, you might be right.

So odd. I bought it via the phone app, then next time I was on the console I just went to my library, made sure the PS5 version was selected via the game version menu option, and hit download. Only downloaded one client.You can go to https://library.playstation.com/recently-purchased to have it download the PS4 version, if you want.
For me, it did the opposite. I bought the PS5 version, but yesterday the PS4 version automatically downloaded, and then tonight it also downloaded the PS5 version.

it's so they can look after the servers at their local time, it's fine
If I own all the Hitman 2 stuff, is it enhanced somehow after buying 3? I recall feeling overwhelmed and confused by how much content there was, what order to play it all in, etc after buying the base game and dlc package on PS4. I never really touched it but I'm ready to dive in.
Never played this game before ever, but bought Hitman 1 and 2 for $12 each on PS5 because of that ability to import the levels into Hitman 3. Should I expect a seamless playthrough of Hitman 1 and 2 using Hitman 3 graphics/features?
