Download 1 with it's content and boot the game: you'll see an option to download the legacy pack for Hitman 2.
Got it, thank you both. As for starting, I'm waiting for 3 and am going to play all of it within that instead of anything in 1 or 2. Sounds like you can just go full binge.
Oh awesome – threadmarked and amended the TL;DR in the OP. Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the responses! I haven't actually played any of the games yet, I just recently bought all past content on sale and pre-ordered Hitman 3. I plan on just waiting until Hitman 3 releases and playing them all as if it's one massive game. That's why I asked, because I booted Hitman 2 and it all looked fine, but I wouldn't have any progress to carry over anyway. I made an IOI account and linked it to my XBl just in case, won't hurt anything.
Yeah I'm not fretting just yet, especially since pre-loads aren't even live. It's just a little uncertain, which has made me feel a little anxious when I think about it (more because I worry I've done something wrong). Guess I'll check again on Tuesday or Wednesday, I'm going to be diving into H3's levels first anyway for obvious reasons.
There was some mention of them in the location reveal here (improved lighting, HDR10, 4K, 60fps):
No problem, really excited for the game!
Paris should be looking real nice with the lighting changes. Can't wait to run through everything and as you see, awesome that it's being made possible for all platforms now.
Not sure on this, had a look at the VR section of the guide but it doesn't say I'm afraid.
Just added a note under the title of the access pass section to make this super clear!
Arguably Hitman 3 already is the definitive trilogy, content-wise, since it contains the data for all 1 and 2 maps (assuming you've already bought them or got the access passes) so I'm not sure if a definitive trilogy will be a separate thing. Maybe a bundle, if anything, but that'll likely just be Hitman 3 + the access passes for 1 and 2
Did you ever download the legacy pack for Hitman 1 in Hitman 2?
Hitman 3 will not have new areas added as DLC.

This is the part that confuses me. I own Hitman 1 and 2 (full games, not pack), but it seems like I need to buy the Hitman 1 GOTY legacy pack ($19.99) or download the whole Hitman 1 game to import to Hitman 2. I'm currently playing Hitman 2 in anticipation, but I'm not sure if I need to download H1 to get ready for H3. Hoping and assuming I don't need to spend any more money.
Ah ok, so bringing the PS4 versions of H1 into H2 will create a sort of "legacy pack pass" to get stuff unlocked in 3? It also sounds like once I do this I can delete PS4 H1/H2, and then have PS4 or PS5 H3 installed with full access. Thanks for breaking it down for me.
Well I may as well do the H1—H2 import just to be safe so I'm not staring at progress bars Wednesday. Fingers crossed!
When you saw the $19.99 price on the legacy pack was it from within Hitman 1? I had a price too but when I accessed from within game and it loaded the store the legacy was free.
All I needed to hear! Thanks, will be grabbing this.Hitman 3 will not have new areas added as DLC.
Hitman 3 feels like a well-deserved victory lap for IO's series
Hitman 3's an odd one, though if you've been along for the ride thus far you'll know to expect as much. Just as Hitman …
It was only yesterday that they mentioned it was being worked out in the coming weeks so no further news yet. Just that people who own content from Hitman 2 won't have to repurchase it.
Thank you, this is the final piece of the puzzle. I need to go inside the IN-GAME store in H1 to redeem the free GotY legacy pack. Before I had seen everywhere telling me to do this in either H2 or the H2 demo, so that $20 price tag was making me think I'd done something wrong.
