    Decided to pick up Hitman 3 on the weekend, I haven't played it before.
    Absolutely loving it.
    After completing Berlin I decided to buy Hitman 1 Gold edition.
    Really looking forward to getting into this.

    You should probably have just picked up the legacy pack for €30, unless the original was on offer.

    Hitman 2 Gold is currently €15 on Xbox if that is the platform you're on, much better than paying €100 for the Gold Access pack.

    For older games the Xbox One double pack of Blood Money and Absolution is also €15.

    Just started playing Hitman 1 on Xbox Series X and I'm loving it. I think I downloaded it for free about a year ago but never got to it.
    I've just bought Hitman 2 for €15.
    Any idea where would be the best priced place to pick up Hitman 3? I found it today on Eneba for about €33 but its saying its a UK only download and will not work in Ireland.
    Any ideas?

    It's €36.50 for an EU code on Eneba.

    I got an Argentine code and took a quick trip to there to redeem it, they're currently €27.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 837 ✭✭✭j14


    Thanks for that. I wasn't too sure if that was the full Hitman 3 game as I have heard of them being released in installments. I was also thrown off by the fact that when you go to the site the prompted ad (the price at the top of the screen) is still €60-ish euro. I'll try one of the cheaper options and see how I get on.

    It was €36.50 when I posted. That key has been now sold.

    Easy enough to buy out of region codes on the Xbox. Can't tell you exactly how to do it here but a search will give you the answer pretty quickly.

    So what is the best way to get all 3 of the new hitman games on xbox?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,703 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    So what is the best way to get all 3 of the new hitman games on xbox?

    First things first buy Hitman 2 Gold digitally before Tuesday as it's reduced to €15.

    Currently ignore Hitman 1 and buy the legacy pack for the content on Hitman 3 for €30. The full game is currently €70, you could wait for a discount.

    Hitman 3 is currently €60 unless you buy an out of region digital code.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 837 ✭✭✭j14


    If you play Hitman 1 from Hitman 3 are the graphics improved?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 837 ✭✭✭j14


    Another question. I downloaded Hitman 1 from the free with Gold promotion about a year ago. It has all the levels from Hitman 1 but when I try to redemm the legacy pack for Hitman 2 it's saying content unavailable. I bought the Gold edition of hitman 2 last night for €15 on the xbox store.
    Any ideas how to get Hitman 1 levels in Hitman 2?

    You need to redeem the Hitman legacy pack for Hitman 2 in the Hitman 1 in game store.

    Once that it done it will be imported into Hitman 2, which will allow you to then redeem the legacy pack for Hitman 3.

    All of the H1 levels get the improvements from H2 or H3 whichever you're playing them in.

    Yes they are improved. Hitman 3 adding screen space reflections and they went back and added them into the old games at least when played within Hitman 3. I'm not sure if the improvements are adding back for users who just own Hitman 1 or 2 or both but not Hitman 3.

    I believe they also decreased storage requirements, so Hitman 3 combined with Hitman 1 and 2 is smaller than Hitman 1 and 2 use to be together.

    I think have played it myself Hitman 3 ran the smoothest of the 3 games as well. Still a little crashy at least on PC.

    Sure did. On PlayStation Hitman 2 with Hitman 1 levels and expansion was clocking in around 120GB. All three under Hitman 3 are in around 55/60GB now.

    This worked for me, sign in with your ms account and you should see an option to install with gold or similar.

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/p/hitman-3-access-pass-hitman-1-goty-edition/9mzxdjdq1f19

    Trying to do it like IO advised wasn't working for me,it was asking me to buy Hitman 1 on the xbox store page.

    That's for Hitman 3. That only works if you have already imported Hitman 1 into Hitman 2.

    To import Hitman 1 into 2 you need to install 1 and redeem the Legacy Pack for Hitman 2 in the in game store.

    Then you should see the link you provided as being owned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 837 ✭✭✭j14


    When I try to access the Hitman 1 legacy pack from Hitman 2 it just says that the content is unavailable.

    Check your ready to install list on H2. Some people have had luck and all the H1 locations are listed there without needing the legacy pack.

    You should be able to check this by trying to download an individual level like Sapienza below.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 837 ✭✭✭j14


    I still haven't managed to download the legacy pack as the xbox store is asking for €23 to download it and I'm reluctant to pay for something that should be free. I did manage to down load all the Hitman 1 legacy missions one by one into Hitman 2 but I lost all progress in all the missions. If I pay the €23 will my progress appear in Hitman 2? Or should I just be happy that I now have all the Legacy mission in Hitman 2?
    Picture of the xbox store for proof.



    Why is thus so confusing🀣

    Progress can't be brought from Hitman 1 into Hitman 2. There is a website that will let you bring all your progress from Hitman 2 into 3 though, you will lose all your existing Hitman 3 data though if done after you start H3.

    Now that you have the H1 levels in H2 you should be able to get the Legacy pack for H3.

    So I finished first mission and just got inside the Mansion in second mission . Save the game and don't play for a week . Went back there to load my save and it says " cannot load session " when I try and load the game . Wtf?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭brady12


    I kinda rushed through 1 and 2 to a degree before 3 came out . And then rushed through 3 a small bit incase the story was spoiled. So now I think Iv access to 1 through ps now so I'm going play even the side stuff from that and then side stuff from 2 (will have buy 2 though ) before replaying whole main story again in 1 , 2 & 3 . The story is very good ..

    The Gold Edition of 2 is currently down to €20 on PSN.

    Owners of Hitman 3 on PC can now import Hitman 2 levels into it if they own Hitman 2 on Steam. Likewise if they own the Hitman 2 expansion pack on Steam.

    There's an easy escalation mission in marrakesh called the cheveyo calibration. It unlocks a really good silenced rifle.

    The best is the Sieger 300/variants which if you played the first two game you should already have. iN h3 Chongqing and Mendoza have one for mastery lvl 20.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    If you get level 10 mastery on Isle of sgail you get the sieger tactical, might still be faster to do the marrakesh escalation. Its short and fairly easy.

    IO have announced HITMAN 3: Seven Deadly Sins, a new 7-part expansion for HITMAN 3 that takes players deep into the mind of Agent 47.

    HITMAN 3: Seven Deadly Sins will be released over time through seven unique content packs. Each of the seven packs are focused on a different sin and include a visually distinct contract, sin-themed unlockable suit and at least one sin-themed item that can be used across the World of Assassination. Some items may also have unique properties to remind you of the sin they are inspired by…

    The first content pack will be available on 30 March and will invite players back to Dubai, where coins are overflowing and new gameplay mechanics will tempt your own personal greed.



    To enjoy the new HITMAN 3: Seven Deadly Sins expansion, players can purchase each content pack individually (priced at $4.99 / £4.99 / €4.99 or regional equivalent).

    Alternatively, all seven content packs can be purchased together as part of the Seven Deadly Sins Collection (priced at $29.99 / £29.99 / €29.99 or regional equivalent), which gives players access to all seven content packs as they are released over time at a reduced price compared to purchasing each pack individually.

    I was expecting something more along the lines of Landslide etc. these just seem to be escalations?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Been wanting to play Hitman 3 for a while now, seriously jealous that hitman trilogy is coming to Gamepass next week.

    Anyway, year 2 sounds great, especially with new mode Freelancer. Anyone know if the year 1/year 2 are free or paid dlc's?

    Edit: currently 23 euro on psn, tempting. Hope did this stack up to the first 2?

    bought it and finished it and traded it in physically last year . been tempted buy it digitally last month or that . bought it and then it's revealed on game pass 🤣😅. what's worse is i downloaded my saves from cloud and digital version doesn't seem detect my saves . wtf ? must be a glitch where physical edition saves aren't recognized then by digital version 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Downloaded the intro to 3 for free and then noticed i could install 1 and 2 for free (forgot 2 was on ps plus) so playing 2 at the moment. Only played the finish line previously, really enjoying it now. The servers were offline for maintenance though and it's crazy how a single player game can rely so heavily on online servers as when i went back online, i saw the amount of challenges and mastery levels. No way they should be kept to being online only.

    Anyway, happy out playing this for the moment. I'm instantly reloading my game if i get caught doing something illegal or if i have to use a gun. Great that you have the freedom but feels wrong to have to start shooting up the place. Doesn't count for hidden kills with pistol or sniper but I'd definitely be going for accidental/ non weapon kills.

    Will pick up 3 down the line when on sale and when the freelance mode is out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Completed the 1st run yesterday in one sitting, took about 5 hours just to mainline it.

    5 stars only on one level (the last one).

    One thing stood out for me it doesnt have a standout level, 2 had several decent areas. 3 imo has okish levels, the data centre is just plain annoying.

    Will start the time limited ones this week.

    New location released for free.





  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    As posted in the News thread, Hitman 3 will become Hitman: World of Assassination at the end of this month and will include H1 and H2. It will then be priced 70 euro and will be the base game for future add on content.

    H3 is currently on sale for 32 euro on PSN but the base game is 22 on Amazon. Also, New mode Freelancer where you have a safe house and take on contacts to upgrade your house and gear is releasing end of this month also. Debating which version to go for.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,509 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


    Bought this on release, never even passed the first mission...

    Always felt like what I was doing was 'wrong' or that there is a better way of doing things, so constantly got hung up on not doing it the perfect way rather than just completing it and going back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,235 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Yeah the missions are all set up as such that I think it's impossible to do it "right" on the first go. Each time you play the mission you should be trying different paths, gather new intel and then you unlock different paths where you can carry out the assassinations in a planned, clean manner.

    They're designed for replayability, though it can mean your first few tries can feel completely aimless and daunting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,509 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


    Ill try give it another go, and just go through the missions as I can. Then go back and try doing them differently. First time playing a Hitman game too, which probably doesn't help.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,845 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Went to get this on the steam sale last night and was so confused by the dlc and buying set up that I just bought persona 5.

    I haven't a clue how to get all the hitman 3 content and also get h1 and 2 content carried over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Just Buy H3 now before end of month for €20 on Steam, then play 1 and 2 from within 3 so if you havent played or if did (there is a save transfer) you get a fairly decent chunk of Hitman for €20


    Steam version also has all DLC for 3 but tbh its the challenges and weekly targets you will find more fun in.


    EDIT holy **** thats confusing just looked at it in steam store, you get some of the H3 DLC with standard but you do get 1 and 2 included and they launch in game so no extra downloads once game is ready.

    Best thing is to complete each level and move on, completing the story then going back and looking at each levels challenges and trying them. As you will be familiar with each level and layout by then.

    Also as you complete challenges you get a new loadout and spawn spot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I'm still looking at the best price for this on ps4/ps5 and it seems all prices when up today (Amazon, Very, etc). Not being sold in smyths or Argos. I reinstalled 2 last night and i have 4 campaigns left to complete that so will tap away with that in the meantime. I doubt H3 will go on sale anytime soon and if it does, won't be much from 70 rrp. If anyone sees a good deal on it for PlayStation, let me know



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,703 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    CEX have copies on PS4/PS5 for €38/€32 each, the Deluxe Edition is also €31.49 on PSN until midnight. There is no discount on PSN for the standard edition, €70.


    The PS5 version is also £24.99 on Amazon, the PS4 version is £38 though.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,904 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Thanks Sniper, yeah cex has no copies near me and the deluxe version on psn is full of fluff, doesn't contain any of the dlc missions. Sickened as it was 22 euro yesterday on Amazon and Very, will keep a look out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,703 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    Getting the deluxe will reduce the SDS dlc and the H2 Gold passes to €10 each instead of having to get the full bundle for €30 after the change.


    Tbh the SDS dlc isn't great either, just a bunch of themed escalations and equipment skins. The real one to go for is the H2 Gold pass for the 2 extra levels.



  • Moderators Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Azza


    Buy Hitman 3 and you will automatically get Hitman 1 and 2 when the update to Hitman: World of Assassination is released later this month and that will include the recently released Ambrose Island mission that was released for free to Hitman 3 owners last year.

    When it comes to DLC its not that important for Hitman 1. The Hitman 1 GOTY update contains a side campaign that take's place in the same levels as Hitman 1 and is completely unrelated to the main storyline. There is also a few weapons, skins and some escalation missions. Its okay content but not essential.

    Hitman 2 I would recommend the season pass. It contains 2 missions that are story related and are quite good plus 2 sniper missions (not story related)

    Hitman 3 skip the Deadly Sins DLC, its not great. Ditto with the Deluxe Content pack.

    If you do want absolutely everything, then buy Hitman 3 and then the Hitman Trilogy Premimum Add Ons Bundle and the Hitman 3 7 Deadly Sins Collection.

    Of course there was content exclusive to the PS4 for the original Hitman that's not available on PC.

    There are changes coming to how this is being sold now and bundled. With the first two games being delisted from stores. See below. Seems to be more in line with what they wanted to do originally.
