Haven't been keeping up on this thread but thought I had my progression carried over to Hitman 3, it shows my appropriate level mastery and overall level, but none of my unlocked inventory is available?!?

HITMAN 3 - Pre-launch Guide [Getting Hitman 1&2 levels into 3]
- Thread starter Kyuuji
- Start date
The PSN store on my end is utter shit at the moment (not only does it suck massively, it seems completely broken when it comes to loading) so can't check, but I'll ask here:
I redemeed the "VR Access" code that came with my physical PS5 copy, and based on the pre-launch guide page, it's supposed to allow me to download the full PS4 game. But it doesn't show up in my PS4 library, nor does it make HITMAN 3 free in the PSN store for me to 'buy'. What gives?

That worked actually thanks, maybe I downloaded the original though XBL Gold and that was the issue.
I was hoping this would solve my issue but it hasn't, I'm in the UK so changing the store to GB, but no matter what it still wants to charge me.
I download Hitman 1 again and confirmed that I have access to all content but whenever I click the Legacy Pack or Access Pass it wants to charge me.
Thanks anyway though.
Thankyou! This sorted my issue too. Now have all Hitman 1-3 levels within the H3 client :)
Didn't work for me. Wants to charge me $40 for that other legacy pack.
I don't know if you got an answer/any joy on this, but I own Hitman 2 (disc) and I managed to get the Access Pass just now. It was in the in-game store, as the right-most option. FWIW, the thumbnail for it didn't load up like the rest of the purchasable packs, though the description was there.
This didn't work for me.
Weird thing is that Hitman Legacy Pack that is listed as free in H1 game is showing full price for me when I click on it, US or UK store, no matter
Basically every product that is Legacy Pack for Hitman 1 is with pricetag. I tried everything from above.
I should mention that I had Hitman 1 Standard but it got upgraded with GOTY content in Hitman 2 (as said in IOI FAQ page).
The only thing that shows free for me is the hitman goty legacy pack. Both of the ones linked in the post are $29 and $39. No Idea what's going on as I had no issue importing hitman 1 into 2.
If you think you're going to enjoy them I'd buy 3 and play all 3 through that.
You'll get the graphics/engine upgrades, install size is much smaller and they are all in one near package that way.
I think Hitman 3 which includes all content from 1 + 2 is around 60 GB last time I checked Hitman 2 with all content was close to 100GB.
If it's your first time playing these though and your unsure if you'll enjoy them, load up 2 run through a few levels from 1 and then re-evaluate.
I'll have to check it out after work. Had no luck all of yesterday but it sounded like I wasn't alone. Guess whatever they needed to push out to make it show up may be working now.
I am a bit confused... maybe someone here can help me. I'm thinking of starting seriously with Hitman already (with the new trilogy, I played at least the two first games ages ago).
I've got the XBLG version of Hitman (1), and got it working in Hitman 2 starter (free) edition. It seems I can play all Hitman 1 locations there, but I don't know about cutscenes/sense of story progression/etc. I think I can't play any tutorial, but it doesn't matter as I've played the Hitman 1 tutorial twice or thrice already, but I don't know if Hitman 2 had any tutorial.
Will Hitman 3 not have a free, starter edition, like Hitman 2, where you can import the levels you have from the previous games? Even if so, Hitman 3 doesn't run 60 fps on X1X like the previous ones?
First question should have been this, but I'm guessing the answer is yes, but anyway: is playing on Hitman 2 the absolute best way to play the first Hitman missions (for the first time also, although I played Paris already some time ago on Hitman 1 vanilla, ps4), assuming one doesn't have access to Hitman 3? On X1X for more info.
Thanks a lot if anyone dares to reply!

I wonder if some Xbox owners are running into a legacy (pun intended) from the glitch where the H1 access pack for H2 was temporarily free when H2 launched.
my memory is hazy but ms/xbox had to go back and retrospectively revoke access to that pack, even though the unlock stayed in H2 (or something like that).
I definitely bought H2 but i think i used the glitch to get h1 in h2 engine...or maybe there was an overlap with h1 being GwG or on gamepass or something.
No practical help to anyone but i thought it was worth mentioning.
I've checked with the Xbox store and in summary, I own H1, have access to play H1 GOTY in H2 but have no access at all to play anything from H1 in H3. Cracking!!
Things I own:-
Hitman 1 (not GOTY)
Hitman 1 legacy pack for Hitman 2
Hitman 1 GOTY legacy pack for Hitman 2
Hitman 2 - standard edition
Hitman 3 - standard edition
Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 2 standard
Buy HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 2 Standard | Xbox
The HITMAN 3 Access Pass system allows you to access HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 locations in HITMAN 3. Purchasing or redeeming this Access Pass will grant access to the locations from 'HITMAN 2 - Standard Edition' in HITMAN 3. You must own HITMAN 3 to access this content.

(NOTE this does NOT come up in searches but DOES appear in the auto-fill bar when you start typing Hitam 3 Acess...blah blah)
Things I don't own:-
Hitman 1 GOTY
Hitman 2 Gold edition
Hitman 2 expansion pass (to upgrade to gold)
Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 1 Complete first season (not sold separately)
Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 1 GOTY Upgrade (not sold separately)
Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 1 GOTY Edition
Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 2 expansion
Hitman 3 Access Pass: Hitman 2 Gold

It's been answered a million times in this thread, and in the OT. Go to any page, and you will find an answer.
Playing the H1 and H2 levels in H3 is the best thing. There are no downsides, you will get all the improvments from the engine, the gameplay and graphics this game brings to the table. There's no reason to not play them in H3.
Hmm... so that means, on PSN, there's no way to confirm that the game sees your licenses for 1 and 2 (and won't charge you for them) prior to purchasing 3... ?
Steam purchases still don't transfer to H3 on Epic. They're working on it.
Don't know if this has been posted but you can download the Hitman 2 access pass for 3 from within the Hitman 2 in-game store. This is relevant because I'm playing the PS Now edition that is getting pulled on February 1st, and wanted to get H3 somewhere down the line.
yeah, thats why i bought the hitman 2 upgrade on epic to get the levels. Im wondering if me just bringing over my saves cancelled out my epic purchase of the hitman 2 levels
Ahh gotcha, I read it wrong.
No, the transfer of progress and the transfer of levels are completely separate. Check the addon is active in your Epic launcher.
It's sad that a guide is needed just to understand how to incorporate the games into a single launcher. Let's hope this isn't a trend going forward.
Thanks I checked that and it seemed to be good. I figured it out though. Strangely enough, when i boot from a shortcut of the app, those levels dont show up as accessible, but when i boot from Epic store (in which cases, the game crashes like 50% of the time upon launch for reasons unknown) the levels show up
I very slightly disagree - H3 doesn't give you all the trophies/achievements that you'd get if you played them in the 2 engine. Most people may not care about achievements/trophies but it's worth noting, in case they do.

Confused on what's different with this compared to the guide?
You always needed the Hitman 1 Legacy Pack to get the Hitman 1 Access Pass (for free).
The skus are borked or there are more than one on the xbox as far as I can tell. I owned the hitman 1 Legacy Pass according to my console store, but clicking the link in jim's post showed I hadn't claimed ownership of it yet. Once I did that, the Hitman 1 Access Pass for Hitman 3 showed up as purchased for me.

Gotcha, thanks. That's a bit messy then. Not even sure how I condense that ideally into the TL;DR since it depends on where the user is as to which store would work. Why on earth have they added a second Legacy pack lol.
e: Edited it as best as I can with the link and to check for a second pack in the store.
Just to clarify in case it wasn't clear, I got the Hitman 2 Access Pass in the store of the Hitman 2 game (disc), NOT inside Hitman 3.
Yup, that's where it should be. Never had it at all yesterday so I'm guessing they fixed it.
I sure don't see any of the access passes in the store in my version of Hitman 2. Meanwhile, when I go to the PSN store, all of the access passes have (large) price tags, despite my (digitally) owning both Hitman and Hitman 2.
??
Played Hitman 1, skipped Hitman 2, now really wishing I had bought the Hitman 2 Gold edition in the end of year sale for $14.99 since it's $99.99 again now...
I guess because of this I'll wait until that goes on sale again before I buy Hitman 3, since the progress transfer only works once. It seems like having Hitman 2 on sale again for Hitman 3 launch week would be a selling point, but what do I know.

So when are we supposed to be getting Hitman 2 levels in Hitman 3 on PC? I did the content transfer thing on their website but Hitman 2 content in Hitman 3 still says 'Get Access'.. Kinda silly to even offer the option to transfer Steam > EGS transfers if it's not actually gonna transfer the content, no?
If you own 2 digitally, you should go into the in-game store in 3 and be able to get the Access Pack for free there instead.
You only need to go into 2's in-game store for it if you own the disc release of 2, because they understandably can't check that it's on your account. I guess the PS Now version is similar, based on Nesther's post?
EDIT: Digitally owning 1 means nothing, though. You still need to redeem the Legacy Pack inside it either way. And then check 3's in-game store, not regular PSN.
If you have 1 and 2, you can go into the two in-game store and get the legacy packs.
If you own 1, it doesn't matter if it's digital, you always need to open it and redeem the Legacy Pack anyway.
For 2, if it's digital it should not charge you for them in 3. If it's disc, you also need to open that and redeem the Access Pack (the reason for the different name for 1's is that Legacy is 1 -> 2, it is just also checked by 3 to grant you 1's Access Pack).
Yup. The Legacy Pack is in 1's in-game store.
EDIT: whoops sorry did not see that I was quoting you both times... I really need to go get some coffee, lol
