Thats.. odd lol. Seems there's something messy going on with Hitman 2 atm. From the progression to the access packs.
On Xbox I've been able to claim the Hitman 2 Standard and Hitman 2 Expansion access passes for free.
However the Hitman 1 GOTY access pass shows as £24.99, even though I own the Hitman GOTY Legacy Pack for Hitman 2.
Anyone else seeing this issue? It's worth noting I don't own Hitman 1 standalone, but instead own all of the 'Legacy' DLC for Hitman 2.

IoI account website is pretty much dead, can't link it and carryover my Hitman 2 progress and if I do it later I'll lose all Hitman 3 progress?!
Had a bit of a play around on one of the older maps so here's some quick thoughts on PS5:
-Haptic feedback is nice but triggers honestly suck. R2 always gets resistive halfway through in a way that doesn't even simulate a trigger pull and I have no idea what throwing objects is supposed to feel like.
-Bringing up your saved games is now instant, which is great! Including menus and loading times, it now takes under 10 seconds to reload.
Not touching the new maps until the progress carry over is working. Hope it works after I sleep because I have the whole day free.

so, if i'm understanding this correctly: it's still not possible to have the H2 stages, unless i buy the access pack on Epic, and the carryover site, who would supposedly transfer what i have on steam is being hammered at the moment, yes?
besides that, if i have 1, do also need to download the access pass that appeared on the epic launcher?

Just did some quick loading time comparisons... These are on PS5 with missions at default settings. Connected to the servers. Also the little hitch when you go to save/load games seem to be gone, however that also seems to get worse as you get amass more game saves so it could still be there.
Paris
H2 PS4 - 43 seconds
H2 PS5 - 25 seconds
H3 PS5 - 9 seconds
Miami
H2 PS4 - 1 minute 2 seconds
H2 PS5 - 24 seconds
H3 PS5 - 11 seconds
I don't have Hitman 1 loading times on me, but I assume they're about the same as H2. Anyway it's obviously a dramatic improvement.

They're working out getting the Hitman 2 Access Pass for free in the coming weeks, for those that own Hitman 2 on Steam.so, if i'm understanding this correctly: it's still not possible to have the H2 stages, unless i buy the access pack on Epic, and the carryover site, who would supposedly transfer what i have on steam is being hammered at the moment, yes?

Di you also claim the Hitman 2 Starter Pack? That was my issue for claiming the Hitman 1 content.

Well even if I cannot get the carry over to work yet, the activiation of H1 & H2 content was quick and easy. Added bonus I now also finally have access to patient zero which I never owned in the past. So it really is the complete Hitman experience. 😎
Thanks for the advice. Do I need to buy that legacy pack thing too in order to get the free upgrades? So far I have just the base games for 1 and 2.

This is assuming you had already registered Hitman 1 and 2 to your IOI account!
You can check which games are registered here.
Carryover website seems to actually be doing something now. I got a spinning thingy instead of just nothing.
I'm still having this issue as well. I was told to re download the first game and redeem the pass there but it tells me I already owned the legacy pack when I checked.
Tried the starter pack trick and still nothing.
I assume we who own Hitman 1 and 2 on Steam can import content & progress from them into EGS Hitman 3 once system is fixed, without need to now buy and redeem stuff on EGS?
It's kinda amazing how IOI keeps fumbling the ball when it comes to these kind of systems, from function to just how messy they are about what you need and where to get X or Y. Can't wait for diagrams about that 007 game how you need do X, Y, Z, V... to unlock all the content.
Definitely had the spinny thing a while back too, but hopefully this means something's happening
Edit: No eligible accounts again lol
I don't know how 3 handles specific editions of previous games. I'd say to try and get all of the content for the respective games before getting 3 just to get the full experience. DLC for 1 is just a side campaign but the DLC to 2 leads right into the new game.
If you own both Hitman 1 & 2 currently I'd recommend playing the first games content via the Hitman 2 client. You can port across the levels but your progress won't carry over. However progress *will* carry over from Hitman 2 to 3.
Hitman 2 added some engine improvements, like mirror reflections, that are also implemented in the Hitman 1 levels. I'm not sure what improvements the third game is adding, other than PSVR support
Playing through the first two games content within Hitman 2 should keep you busy for a while, and then if you do pick up the third game later all your progress, gear & cosmetics unlocks will come over.
To unlock progress; yes, you need an IOI account.
To just unlock the legacy maps; no.
Also, I'd like to clarify "progress". Progress is in terms of tracking challenges and Mastery unlocks. You can freely select any mission and part of the campaign at any time.
Mine spun for like 2 minutes and then told me it didn't find anything.
On consoles, no. But if you want progression to carryover you need an account. On PC it seems to be required for both progression and content.
I guess the website is getting hammered. Guess i will wait to play. No point if my progress does not carry over. I have hitman 2 and all the legacy stuff installed on my system along with hitman 3, yet i still have to login into the hitman website to have it carry over. Does not seem well thoughtout.
You are correct. For now (when systems are back up) you should be able to get the Hitman 1 GOTY Access Pass for free on EGS, and do the progression crossover from Steam to EGS. Hitman 2 Access (for free) is in the coming weeks.
An IOI account is not required to transfer content
An IOI account is required to transfer progress from H2 (progress from H1 cannot be transferred)
Cross-posting from the pre-launch guide thread:
Anyone running into problems carrying over their Hitman 2 progress to Hitman 3? Last night I made an IOI account and linked my Steam account to it from in-game Hitman 2, and when I just log into my IOI account, I see my Steam account and Hitman 2 ownership under the Linked Accounts section. However when I go to the Progress Carryover webpage, it says "No eligible HITMAN 2 accounts found". Anyone else experience this?

Seems to be that everyone is experiencing this currently, haven't seen anyone actually manage to do it.
Seriously, it should just read out my saves or something. Putting this up with launch also isn't doing them any favors. Of course it would get hammered.
Nice, thanks.
I just loaded up Hitman 3 for the first time (on Xbox) and Hitman GOTY, Hitman 2 and Hitman 2 Expansion are all ticked for me and looks like all destinations are unlocked.
I'm good to go in terms of content then?
Just need to do some IOI account creation to bring my progression/unlocks over?
Well the only thing is that you have to play H2 with your IOI account linked first, so you would need to get H2 again.
You can't link the games to the account other than booting them up and putting the account in.
Ah didn't realize, thanks
Lmao

I'm having the same issue. I'm thinking that it's just because the servers are a mess right now.
