<p>Previous owners will be able to port over locations from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/hitman" title="Hitman on PC">Hitman 1</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/hitman-2" title="Hitman 2 on PC">2</a> to the upcoming Hitman 3 on the same platform at no additional cost. After <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2021/1/15/22233355/hitman-3-pc-location-progress-import-how-to-epic-games-store-steam">reports</a> came out stating that players will have to repurchase Hitman 2 levels to bring them back for the third game, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/io-interactive" title="IO Interactive">IO Interactive</a> has come out with an official statement to clear things out with players.</p> 

<p>As per the official IO Interactive <a href="https://twitter.com/IOInteractive/status/1350899132966318084">Twitter account</a>:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">We are continuing to work on a solution with our partners to allow <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/" title="PC Games">PC</a> players who own HITMAN 1 or HITMAN 2 to import locations from those games into HITMAN 3 at no additional cost.

We guarantee that players will NOT need to repurchase the games.  

Until we roll that out in the coming weeks, the HITMAN 1 GOTY Access Pass will be free to own for all PC players who pre-purchase or purchase HITMAN 3 in the first 10 days after release. 

We are excited for you to enjoy the fill World of Assassination experience. 

Thank you, IOI.</div>

<p>For now, it looks like players won’t be able to port over Hitman 2 locations on launch day, but at least we have confirmation from the developers that they are working on solutions to make the seamless transition without any additional spending on the players’ part.</p>

<p>There’s no exact date yet on when this fix will go live, but in the meantime, they can get their hands on the GOTY edition of Hitman 1 for free when you pre-purchase Hitman 3 or buy it in the first 10 days after release.</p>

<p>IO Interactive has come up with a pre-launch guide. The guide details how players can get their hands on Hitman 3, as well as how previous owners of Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 can import their locations to the upcoming title. </p>
