Hitman 3 poses a problem for Epic and Steam | The arrival of the third installment of the adventures of Agent 47 on January 20 is already posing a new problem in this eternal conflict of exclusives on PC. On the one hand, one of the most attractive features of Hitman 3 is that it can include all the levels of the trilogy and even the DLCs that you have already acquired, but on the other hand, if you acquired the previous games through Steam, can they be imported into this version that will be exclusive to Epic?
The sad answer is no, as explained by IO Interactive in the pre-launch guide . Now, the Epic version of Hitman 3 will include a GOTY access pass to download the first installment of the saga from the Epic store, but that will happen only the first 10 days after the game hits the market , that is, until January 30, after that you will have to buy all the content again .
Hitman 3 exclusivity is paid for by players
Hitman 2 is another story, because here you will not receive anything "free". The maximum that you can get is an 80% discount until February 3 on the Standard passes that contain the basic levels and Gold that includes the basic levels and the game's DLCs. As for the price of the two packs there is still no clarity, but it is estimated that they will be around 19.99 euros.
What seems even more absurd is that the progress you have made in Hitman 2, regardless of how you obtained the game, can be exported from Steam to Epic, which shows that what is missing is the will to export the games as well. titles and not an insurmountable technical barrier. Oh, one more thing, importing this content will erase all your progress in Hitman 3 and can only be done once .
