While the original Hitman is available on that digital storefront as well, Hitman 2 is still only on Steam. This meant there was no way to prove you owned Hitman 2 prior to this new import procedure. I am really against EGS as well but I want to support IO for making a good product and I want more Hitman games in the future. If it makes it any easier for any of you out there, GOG Galaxy can integrate to Epic Games Store, Steam, Origin, Uplay among others, kinda unifying your game library under one application. It might make EGS a little.
Ever since the release of Hitman 3, PC fans of the iconic stealth-action franchise have been waiting to access all of the previous locations they'd purchased through Hitman 1 and 2. While that's a simple task on PlayStation or Xbox, it has proved more difficult on PC, with the game's limited-time exclusivity to the Epic Games Store meaning players who enjoyed the previous two games on Steam were unable to transfer their content to the new platform.
As of today, IO Interactive has officially solved that problem, offering a way for former-Steam users accessing Hitman 3through the Epic Games Store to import their levels from Hitman 1 and 2. Transferring levels is now a simple process, with IO setting up a web page that provides step-by-step instructions on how to bring previous locations across to the new game.

Before starting, players are advised to take some precautions to ensure everything is processed smoothly. IO Interactive recommends that users double-check all of the content they're claiming during the import process to ensure they're correct, warning that 'they cannot be undone or reversed.' It also recommends they use a web browser on their PC rather than a mobile device, claiming the site isn't optimized fully for mobile.
Next, it describes what players will be getting through the import, stating that they'll receive an Access Pass DLC for Hitman 1 and 2 that will make the games' prior locations playable in Hitman 3. This is similar to what players on consoles have to download to access the content in their versions of the game.

— IO Interactive (@IOInteractive) February 18, 2021To start the process, players have to sign into their IOI Account, at which point they'll be asked to read the import procedure's instructions, review their accounts, and then claim the locations they want to bring across to the game. Before long, they'll be able to access all prior World of Assassination Trilogy content in the Epic Games Store's version of Hitman 3. Seeing as the sequel was marketed as the comprehensive hub for the entire trilogy – with players able to access each iteration of the new reboot through it – it's great to hear PC players will finally be able to play the entire collection of Hitman locations via one game regardless of where they purchased them.
Hitman 3 released just under a month ago, bringing with it six fresh locations that spun an epic conclusion to the World of Assassination Trilogy first started in 2016's Hitman. The game amassed rave reviews and sold well, turning a profit within a week of its release. IO Interactive will now move on to its next project, with the team slated to work on a James Bond game titled Project 007.
Hitman 3 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Google Stadia, and Nintendo Switch.

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:
“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.

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.
