The upcoming launch of Hitman 3<\/em><\/strong> has been highly anticipated. IO Interactive’s upcoming stealth game will task players with performing creative assassinations across the world, with missions in Dubai, Berlin, and elsewhere. If the base game’s content wasn’t enough, however, IO Interactive will let players transfer missions from the original Hitman<\/em><\/a> and Hitman 2<\/em> to the new game. But after encountering issues, and kicking off a controversy, IO has gone ahead and made Hitman 1<\/em>‘s DLC initially available to all PC buyers.<\/p>\n

The controversy has to do with the divide between PC storefronts Steam and the Epic Games Store, which isn’t the first or last time an issue has cropped up between the two. IO originally promised Hitman 3<\/em> buyers that owning Hitman 1<\/em> or 2<\/em> would result in their content unlocking in Hitman 3<\/em>. That’ll still be the case on non-PC platforms, but the PC is different. That’s because Hitman 3<\/em> is an Epic Games Store exclusive<\/a> on PC and sharing details like game ownership between the two platforms isn’t simple.<\/p>\n

Further, there’s an even bigger issue to account for. That being that Hitman 2<\/em> isn’t even available on the Epic Games Store. Even if IO is able to check with Steam to see if a player already owns Hitman 2<\/em>, the content may not be readily available to transfer into players’ accounts. IO will have to figure out a way to either release Hitman 2<\/em> on the Epic Games Store soon or will have to release a separate DLC for Hitman 2<\/em> content<\/a> in Hitman 3<\/em>. Either option taking a significant amount of time.<\/p>\n
