Hitman 3: Developers promise solution to Hitman 2 problem on PC (update)

Update from 3:05 p.m.: In the meantime, the development studio IO Interactive has also spoken out via Twitter to take a stand. The tweet said that the owners of the PC version of Hitman 3 will definitely be able to import locations from the two previous games for free. There will be no compulsion to buy the respective games again. The team is working together with its partners on an appropriate solution. As a first step, IO Interactive is offering all pre-orderers of Hitman 3 on the PC a free "Access Pass" for the "Game of the Year Edition" of Hitman 1. This also applies to all those who get Hitman 3 up to ten days after the launch.

Original message: On January 20, 2021 - this Wednesday - the stealth action game Hitman 3 will be released for the PC and consoles. An interesting feature is the ability to play locations or levels from Hitman 2 in Agent 47's latest adventure. For this purpose, an "Access Pass" is used on the consoles, which owners of the predecessor can download free of charge. However, with the PC version, a very specific problem is currently causing headaches.

However, Hitman 2 is not available there, so that it is not easy to use an "Access Pass" as with the consoles. Some fans had therefore already expressed the fear that they would have to do without this feature. But the responsible developer studio IO Interactive is already working on a solution together with Epic Games. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney recently stated on Twitter on this:

"We're sorry, the team is looking at this with IO. Epic never intends to create a situation in that someone who already owns a game on Steam will have to buy it again from the Epic Games Store in order to enjoy it to the fullest. "
