Demo offline is just a 60gb menu?
I wanted to see if i can get previous games content in it but since i'm in a queue, i can only enter offline.

I have 3 options, go online, go to the store or watch a trailer.

Is there no demo mission if you're offline?

I hope i'm stupid and missing something obvious because the alternative is steam letting me download a 60gb menu to just start a trailer.

Edit: Here's the offline demo screenshot, just a useless menu https://i.imgur.com/wI6hlOw.jpg

"The HITMAN 3 Free Starter Pack will always give you FREE access to the ICA Facility, where you can experience the start of the World of Assassination trilogy, meet your handler and start earning XP and unlocks that will be carried over to the full game when you purchase it."

If this is not what you are getting, then people need to start making a fuss to IO support.

I think that's only if you are online. If the game can't retrieve your profile, it has nothing to offer in the offline menu. Except trying to connect again which puts me in 20k position in queue. Great...

"More Free Content

The release of the HITMAN 3 Free Starter Pack is just the beginning. Over time, we’ll add more free content from the World of Assassination for a limited time. Whether it’s a full location or an Elusive Target, there’ll be new challenges waiting for you. Anything that we make available for free in the Starter Pack will also be free for HITMAN 3 owners for the same duration, which means that Hawke’s Bay is currently available for all HITMAN 3 players.

Already played HITMAN 1 and 2? Great! The HITMAN 3 Free Starter Pack is the perfect place to get started with the final game in the trilogy. Import the locations that you can already access in HITMAN 2 and carryover your progress to start playing with the new features and improvements from HITMAN 3, including updated lighting effects, animations and Agent 47’s new camera item. (The Free Starter Pack does not support VR. You must own HITMAN 3 Standard or Deluxe Edition in order to play in VR.)

Head to our Progress Carryover site to start that process right now. You’ll need to have launched the game at least once. To import your locations into the Free Starter Pack, the Access Pass FAQ will guide you let you know what to expect."

so basically if you don't own any of the hitman games, you get periodic free missions. if you already own hitman 1 and 2, you get hitman 1 and 2 and all content you had for it as well as access to the ica facility.

I'm assuming that owners of hitman 1 and 2 also get the "demo" updated to an actual game with achievements? don't know yet, i'm still in position 25k. Not sure why they didn't just release the base game f2p. I'm assuming that after the 100k + people downloading the thing complain they can't actuallly play the game becasue it's not installing dlcc properly that they will fix it. who knows.

ya, this whole thing is a mess.

Interseting to note..

if the game sold so well on EGS..why are there over 100K people waiting in line trying to dl on day one. Like..i've been in que for about 4 hours now. I just reached #18796..

WoW launch days have been better than this. This is very shameful.

If anyone wants to see this fancy 60gb menu, i'll save you the trouble of downloading it and just post the screenshot here:

That's it, that's all you can do in the offline version. Go back to the queue, go to the store and give them money if you were impressed by the pretty menu or watch a trailer in case you are too lazy to open youtube yourself..

like was pointed out, if you don't go online, you cannot access anything but the trailer.. if all your seeing is a trailer, it's becuas you are in offline mode.

for me it not even starts up on Gamepass ... what a ♥♥♥♥ product, i guess the "free dl" version works since start
Mac Zito Jan 21, 2022 @ 1:59am 
This ♥♥♥♥ doesn't even make sense. If I go download the starter pack on Epic it'll let me log on and play all my content. Why the ♥♥♥♥ is this is an issue here? Why is it even demo now labeled under a separate name in your library?

Imaging having to queue in order to fetch an online account in 2022 lmao

Update: I created an IOI Account to see if I can play the Hitman 1 and 2 levels in the Demo, still can't go online and was 7442 in queue but when I went to retry it actually bumped me up further in the queue to 7567 then to 7643 after I hit retry again.

Update 2: I've gotten into the game, No you cannot play the Hitman 1 GOTY and Hitman 2 Gold Edition content in the "Free Starter Edition"/Demo. Choosing one of those maps or missions brings up a window linking to Hitman 3's Steam store page for the access passes.
