Do I need to keep Hitman 2 installed?

To answer the question directly, you do not need to keep Hitman 2 installed if you have already imported its levels into Hitman 3 and have redeemed any necessary Access Passes, as the levels and progress will be accessible within Hitman 3. However, if you have a disc copy of Hitman 2 and haven’t redeemed the Access Passes yet, it’s crucial to keep Hitman 2 installed until you’ve completed this process to ensure you can access all the content in Hitman 3.
