In the end, Hitman 2 owners on a PC don’t have to pay for the game again -apkrig
There was a lot of confusion over the weekend about the new Hitman, which will be released in two days. It all revolved around the popular opportunity to import into the troika missions and progress from the previous two games. It seemed that on a PC, unlike consoles, this could be a problem depending on the different digital distribution channels. Hitman 3 has time exclusivity for Windows on the Epic Games Store. If you pre-order or buy the game in the first 10 days after the release, you can look forward to the content from the first game of the current trilogy for free in the Game of the Year Edition. However, Hitman 2 Epic Games Store is not on offer, so at first it looked like the respective DLC with these levels would have to be bought by those who had already paid for the game on Steam if they were interested.
“We can guarantee that players do NOT have to buy these games again.”
But the developers from the Danish studio IO Interactive started the situation over the weekend clarify, or according to some to change position. It already depends on the interpretation. According to the latest statement, the authors are still working on a suitable solution for those who already own Hitman 1 or 2, so that they can import locations from these titles free of charge. “We can guarantee that players do NOT have to buy these games again,” the authors stressed in the updated details on their website. But the team suggests that customers will not have access to them right away. It can take up to several weeks for content to be made available on a PC despite various digital distribution channels.
The current owners of Hitman 2 on the PC are said to have to wait for details. If you are interested in the content but have not previously purchased the game, you can also look forward to an 80% discount for 14 days when purchasing Hitman 3. The confusing situation around the digital PC version is over the weekend inserted and the Epic Games Store, which is understandable, because he didn’t want to be blamed for the fact that time exclusivity is the reason why now the current owners of Hitman 1 and 2 on Steam do not get what they were originally promised. It wasn’t such a problem with the number one, when it’s at least temporarily free of charge for the number three, but for the number two it seemed that the mentioned discount is all that IO fans can offer.
On consoles, this process is much easier, because the digital store is always controlled by a single system manufacturer. Hitman 1 and 2 are in fact new DLCs for Hitman 3, which can also be purchased separately. If you have previously purchased these titles on the same platform, the new feature should automatically detect them and give you free access to the relevant content. The process works across generations within the same console family. So, for example, if you buy Hitman 3 on PS5, of course you have access to content from copies for PS4.
Hitman na Switchi a Stadii
In addition to PCs and consoles, Hitman 3 also targets Switch and Google’s cloud streaming service from Google. Both versions have more in common than it may seem at first glance. You can’t play the native version on the hybrid console from Nintendo and you can’t do without an internet connection. The game runs from the cloud, as does the recent Control by Remedy and formerly Resident Evil 7 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in Japan. This version will be released on January 20 as on other platforms. At the Stadium, Hitman 3 will offer the State Share function as the first title. It allows you to share the same mission settings via a link in a video, for example, so that the viewer can try an analogous situation. In this case, it can be applied to separate scenarios and missions from the campaign and shares the starting locations, tasks, difficulty and equipment. This includes weapons, clothing and gadgets that the player has not yet unlocked himself.
