Confused about game versions

[𝔗𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔲𝔰 𝔄𝔠𝔱𝔲𝔞𝔩𝔦𝔰]

What does the cheapest version (World of assassination part 1) contain? And how does it differ from other 2?

The infographic on the store page literally tells you all this.

Damn it's so complicated that someone even made a full guide. Thanks for sharing

I'm new to this. IIRC there were 3 Hitman games and then they unified all of them into Hitman 3 or smth like that

Exactly, they united HITMAN (2016), HITMAN 2 (2018) and HITMAN 3 (2021) in a single pack and the first two games received the graphical and mechanical improvements of HITMAN 3.

It was confusing years ago when they were separated, and it's still confusing now but in a different way ( a bit less though, but still ) .
I've just read your guide eli_Go ( thanks for making it btw, makes things way easier to understand ) . Just to be sure though, as someone who had bought the Gold edition of both Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 in the past ( own all the DLCs for these 2 ) , if I read your guide correctly, it's now impossible to buy just what used to be Hitman 3 Gold edition ( or Deluxe ot whatever it was called, just, Hitman 3 with all of the Hitman 3 DLCs ) . The only way to get that, is by buying what is now called " World of Assassination Deluxe Edition " . Am I getting that right ?
If so, that's a real bummer, 'cause it's pretty expensive due to the fact that it also includes 1 and 2 Gold Editions which I have no interest for, considering I already own them. Just wanna buy Hitman 3 with all of its DLCs. But it looks like it's impossible to do so now. Unless I got it wrong, but that's what I understand from reading the guide.

Unfortunately it is like that, you understood it well. Since January 2023, the ability to transfer content from HITMAN 1 and HITMAN 2 to HITMAN 3 has been disabled and the only way to have all the content is to purchase HITMAN World of Assassination Deluxe Edition (or HITMAN WoA + Deluxe Bundle).

You are not the only one confused. Went to buy the HITMAN World of Assassination Deluxe Edition. List out several games and at the very bottom reads this:

Purchasing this item requires you own the following items:2
VR

I guess I am taking the VR part too literal? I don't own a VR, yet on the purchase screen it looks like it requires it? I am new to the franchise, so I guess I will read the above guide posted by someone else, but whoever does their sales marketing sucks.

You don't need VR so don't worry. It says that at the time of purchase because the game comes with two launchers, one for the normal game and another one for the VR version.
