Hitman Steam
HITMAN 3 is the best place to play every game in the World of Assassination trilogy. All locations from HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 can be imported and played within HITMAN 3 at no additional cost for existing owners – plus progression from HITMAN 2 is directly carried over into HITMAN 3 at launch. Hitman is a stealth video game franchise developed by the Danish developer IO Interactive, and previously published by Eidos Interactive and Square Enix.IO Interactive remained a subsidiary of Square Enix until 2017, when Square Enix started seeking buyers for the studio. Hitman 3’s release on the Epic Games Store (a timed exclusive) will not be able to grant free access to Hitman or Hitman 2 purchases made on Steam, partly because Hitman 2 simply isn’t. HITMAN™ - Play the beginning of HITMAN for free and become the master assassin.The first location in the game is a secret training facility, where players step into the shoes of Agent 47 for the very first time and must learn what it takes to become an agent for the International Contract Agency.HITMAN™ ESSENTIAL COLLECTIONBuy this bundle to save 30% off the three recent Hitman games! I'm not much of a user of steam. I rarely buy games, but I saw Hitman and I loved it and I wanted to buy, but it's just there is no add to cart link for Hitman 2016 like on Hitman 2 as you can see in the below screenshot. There is only Game of The Year Edition, Essential Collection and DLC. As far as I understood these are not the actual full game.
Hitman Steam To Epic
Back in August 2020, IO Interactive announced that Hitman 3 will be timed-exclusive on the Epic Games Store, and that Hitman 3 will act as a platform for the entire trilogy, allowing players to import locations their progression and unlocks that they own from previous HITMAN games.
Back then IO Interactive stated that it wanted to “make it a seamless process for our PC players to enjoy Hitman 3 on a different PC platform and continue to enjoy the benefits of our World of Assassination”. But sadly this may not be the case anymore.
According to a recent blog post on IO Interactive’s website, you won’t be able to carry the progress over to EGS if you own the game on Steam. If you want to replay/start any of the Hitman 2 levels in the upcoming Hitman 3 title, you will have to buy the Hitman 3 Access Pass.
So basically, Steam owners of Hitman 1 and 2 can’t import the levels, and they will have to again buy the game via Epic Games Store in order to import them, which is indeed very frustrating for long time HITMAN players.
This is because Hitman 2 was never released on the Epic Games Store, so you have to buy this game again. Though, IO interactive plans to offer an 80% discount on the Hitman 3 Access Pass that will be running for 14 days after the game is released on January 20 2021.
This move is going to frustrate a lot of Hitman fans, and right now it’s a mess for players playing on the PC.
As IO said:
All recipes mac and cheese for one. “We’ve done everything possible to make this process smooth and player-friendly.
However, due to various circumstances out of our control, we want to acknowledge that the process is different to our initial plans for PC players. We also want to share some of the initiatives we’ve set-up to make sure that PC players the chance to keep enjoying the benefits of the World of Assassination.”
The progression will carry over as expected but it can only be done through a web browser and a separate website when it goes live, before Hitman 3 releases. It’s not possible to do it in-game.
“After completing the carryover process, Hitman 2 players will be able to start Hitman 3 with their existing player profile, XP rank, location mastery levels, location mastery unlocks, challenge progress, challenge unlocks and Elusive Target suits/unlocks,” the blog reads. “All of those things are what we call ‘progression’. It’s not possible to pick and choose elements to carryover. It’s all or nothing.”
“The carryover process requires an IOI Account and can only be done through a web browser; it’s not possible to do it in-game. We will have the website ready to go before launch, but it is not live yet. Once it is ready, we will share the news via ioi.dk and update this post. “
However, it appears that Tim Sweeney has just responded on Twitter regarding this move from IO interactive, and according to him the team is looking into working this with IO. So there is still a ray of hope for STEAM users.
Hitman 3 is the dramatic conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy, taking players around the world on a globetrotting adventure to sprawling sandbox locations, with Agent 47 returning for the most important contracts of his career. The game will be using the Glacier Engine.
Hitman 3 is coming to the PC in January 2021, and will be timed-exclusive on Epic Games Store. IO Interactive will also implement Ray Tracing effects to the game in 2021. Lastly, here are its full PC system requirements.
Stay tuned for more!

Hello, my name is NICK Richardson. I'm an avid PC and tech fan since the good old days of RIVA TNT2, and 3DFX interactive 'Voodoo' gaming cards. I love playing mostly First-person shooters, and I'm a die-hard fan of this FPS genre, since the good 'old Doom and Wolfenstein days. MUSIC has always been my passion/roots, but I started gaming 'casually' when I was young on Nvidia's GeForce3 series of cards. I'm by no means an avid or a hardcore gamer though, but I just love stuff related to the PC, Games, and technology in general. I've been involved with many indie Metal bands worldwide, and have helped them promote their albums in record labels. I'm a very broad-minded down to earth guy. MUSIC is my inner expression, and soul. Contact: Email
