HITMAN 1 (base edition) was given away for free on Epic Games last August. If you grabbed that (or bought it), you can now upgrade it for free to a Game Of The Year Edition!

  1. Add the free Hitman 3 Starter Pack to your Epic account: this counts as owning Hitman 3, a requirement for the next step.
  2. Go to the HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 1 GOTY Edition page.
  3. There will be a price still here. Click on BUY NOW and it will be 100% discounted! You now own and can play Hitman 1 GOTY Edition within Hitman 3!

              @SlickMick: Not really considering you have to press place order on the checkout confirmation page. This isn't like amazons 1 click purchases where it preforms an instant checkout with the card details on file. The fact that even free games have a checkout confirmation screen before adding the game to your account should be security enough to know you can back out before being charged.

    • Clear on 31/03/2021 - 22:38

    • hill898billy on 01/04/2021 - 02:45

      I guess you need to get the starter pack hitman 3 which is free. Then click on the second link. That works for me. I guess I also have hitman 1 maybe that’s why 🤷‍♂️

          Workaround is what I have tried.

          I now own Hitman III Free Starter Pack.

          But HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 1 GOTY Edition is still showing $22.99

            @browser: Yeah it shows $22.99 for me on the store page, but once I clicked BUY NOW, the confirmation page will show discount -100% which brings it to $0

          • hailingstars on 01/04/2021 - 00:25

    I don't know if I have Hitman 1 already on my Epic Account but I was able to "buy" it regardless

    Claimed the Hitman 3 access pass, refreshed page and then went to Hitman 1 link and despite the 22.29 price, checking out should come down to 0.00 free for me.

    Here's a workaround if you didn't

    Does this set of instructions actually work if you hadn't already got Hitman 1 on Epic? Above comments indicating it didn't work for people that did not get previously get Hitman 1. The reddit post also does not indicate there is any work around if you didn't already own Hitman 1.

  • MagicTsukai on 31/03/2021 - 23:20
    +2

    Awesome it worked.

    So how does it work, if you want to play hitman 1 goty version, we have to open it through hitman 3.

    Also one other thing, is the whole of hitman 3 free using this method as well? is it a complete game this starter pack?

      Yes.

      No.

      is it a complete game this starter pack?

      No. Only contains the training and Hawkes Bay levels, as well as the Dubai level playable until April 5.

      • MagicTsukai on 31/03/2021 - 23:47

        thanks for the clarification.
        If all the cutscenes and gameplay are in the hitman 3 engine i'll just play it in the newer version then. thank you!

    Ok got it working. Just follow the steps exactly. Use the URLs provided in the instructions. Do not use not search for hitman, or try to get to hitman 1 page from the link on top of hitman 3.

    And the following steps

    step 0. To enter browser mode choose the option Manage Account in your epic games app. And you will enter the browser version of epic games.

    • karnage1020 on 01/04/2021 - 00:59

    So glad Epic games is around to break Steam's effective monopoly. Never thought there would be loopholes like this lol. They gave us the game free initially, now we're getting GOTY upgrade too.

    • Smigit on 31/03/2021 - 23:54
      +1

      Maybe it will but it’s far off it now. Their recent reporting had $264 million USD in third party sales, which only averages out to $1.60 USD per user. That’s despite them throwing out $15 coupons multiple times a year.

      Right now Epics first party titles are by far and away making up the bulk of the revenue at about 2/3 of all revenue.

      They stay in focus because of all the free games etc, but I’m not sure it’s actually translating to amazing sales yet. Time will tell. I’m struggling to find current Steam revenue figures but based on the 2017 data and the fact the gaming market went gangbusters in 2020, Steams probably pulling in close to 10x the revenue today at a guess.

      • Fuzor on 01/04/2021 - 00:05
        +2

        Well Epic is by far the most generous company out there. You have the likes of much bigger competitors like Ubisoft and EA who have much better established online stores but are either tight or greedy, and their stores don't have anywhere near the momentum to compete with Valve.

        Really hope Epic succeeds.

    • CriticalImpact on 01/04/2021 - 08:29

      I'd be more inclined to support Epic if they had anything better than Steam in terms of features apart from having exclusives(which somehow helps competition?)

    • browser on 31/03/2021 - 23:52

      All those saying working is because they already have Hitman 1 from last year, might have forgotten about it, but it's in the system.

      The workaround to the workaround is to pay $22.99.

          May be there was a bug randomly makes it free that might have been fixed.

          The Reddit post literally says that if you already have Hitman 1, now you can get Hitman 1 GOTY free if you also grab the Hitman 3 Starter Pack.

          Basically Hitman 1 is a prerequisite. OP originally had this in the steps: Here's a workaround if you didn't: …

          The "workaround" obviously did not work for many.

          • Lucille Bluth on 01/04/2021 - 16:22

            @browser: I didn't have an Epic account until a few moments ago, and it worked for me. Obviously I didn't have Hitman 1 yet.

    Guys! If you read the Reddit post properly, you need Hitman 1 to start with, then the free Hitman 3 Starter Pack, only then the Hitman 1 GOTY is 100% discounted.

    If you haven't got Hitman 1, there is NO workaround to just get Hitman 3 and Hitman 1 GOTY free, only a 50% discount, which is $22.99.

      I followed the instructions in description and got it for free. Never had the game before.
