Ever since the release ofHitman 3,PC fans of the iconic stealth-action franchise have been waiting to access all of the previous locations they’d purchased throughHitman 1and2.While that’s a simple task on PlayStation or Xbox, it has proved more difficult on PC, with the game’slimited-time exclusivity to the Epic Games Storemeaning 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 accessingHitman 3through the Epic Games Store to import their levels fromHitman 1and2.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 Interactiverecommends 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 forHitman 1and2that will make the games' prior locations playable inHitman 3.This is similar to what players on consoles have to download to access the content in their versions of the game.
To 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 inthe Epic Games Store’s version ofHitman 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 ofHitmanlocations via one game regardless of where they purchased them.
Hitman 3released 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’sHitman.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 aJames Bondgame titledProject 007.
Hitman 3is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Google Stadia, and Nintendo Switch.
