Do I need to keep Hitman 2 installed?
With the release of Hitman 3, you might be wondering if you still need to keep Hitman 2 installed. In this article, we will delve into the details and provide you with the necessary information to help you decide.
Carryover Progress
According to the game’s developer, IO Interactive, the progress from Hitman 2 will carry over to Hitman 3. This means that you will be able to access your existing progression, including challenges, and even continue where you left off in the new game. However, to enjoy this feature, you must ensure that your progression is updated and sync with Hitman 3. Otherwise, you won’t be able to transfer your progress.
Why Do You Need to Keep Hitman 2 Installed?
If you don’t intend to play Hitman 2 anymore, it is generally recommended that you do not uninstall it until after you have fully carried over your progress to Hitman 3. If you uninstall Hitman 2, you might risk losing your progress and missing out on the game’s remaining content.
Uninstallation vs. Delete
You should note the distinction between uninstalling Hitman 2 and simply deleting its installation folder. Deleting the game’s files manually is not recommended as it could cause issues with Hitman 3 or potentially remove critical files that you still need.
Deleting Progress and Access Pass
Hitman 3 comes with the Access Pass feature that allows you to play content from Hitman 1 and 2 within the same game. When you activate an Access Pass, your progress will carry over from the original game, including challenges and leaderboards.
What to Keep Installed and What Not?
In summary:
• You can uninstall and remove other files related to Hitman 2 after completing your carryover progress in Hitman 3.
• Delete any unnecessary files that were included with Hitman 2.
• However, leave the Hitman 2 game files untouched to prevent potential issues and loss of progress.
• Manually delete the Access Pass feature or any challenges/leadersboards you didn’t carry over to avoid loss.
Conclusion
Ultimately, it is your choice to keep or delete Hitman 2 files after updating your progress in Hitman 3. Consider weighing the benefits of uninstalling vs. keeping installed considering potential loss of progression.
However, if you intend to play Hitman 1 or 2 and haven’t carried over progress to Hitman 3 yet, you should hold onto it to ensure compatibility. Consult the game’s developers if you have specific queries on file management, deletion, or carryover issues.
