Xbox I ne and on the Microsoft store.

But I think I found the problem. I purchase hitman game of the year edition and for an obscure reason when I did the install it installed hitman 2...odd

Just to be sure, are playing on Xbox One or Pc? Where did you purchase the game?

Regards!

For both games, I have all the available content installed. But this problem is simply. It's not that I miss some installed content. Simply The Crew 2 looks like a standard edition and not like Gold.

And Hitman 2 runs as a prolog and not as Hitman 2 or Hitman 2 Gold editions.
And the developers said the missions from the previous Hitman will be improved, but there are no such missions. So there must be a bug in the game or it will only be available after the first update.

It should work, the problem is getting that free prologue from the store.

Lets just got through things one last time

On Xbox One Disc (both Complete First Season and Definitive Edition):

Ensure that you have all of the content from the disc installed onto your console and downloaded the latest game update for H1, released on November 8th.
Ensure that you have redeemed and installed the Bonus Episode via the voucher code that was included in the box.
Ensure that you have the free “HITMAN 2 – Prologue” registered to your account. (You only need to ‘get’ this item, not have it downloaded or installed.)
Launch H1 and follow the prompts in the H1 in-game store to redeem and download your Legacy Pack.
When the Legacy Pack has installed, it will be playable within HITMAN 2 only.

I made a couple of things bold in from the FAQ as those may hold the key.

Not owning the disc version I'm not sure if there is an option to install all the additional content from the Hitman disc or if that happens on it's own, you must have all the content from Hitman 1 installed.

Onto the free prologue. as you have already installed Hitman 2 the store will say you already own it but it's not quite true, Hitman 2 installs the prologue but not the free version and this is where I believe things are messing up.

So you have both games installed using your account, you need to then sign into the throw away account you created, download the free prologue using that account. What happens if you stay signed into that account, launch Hitman 1 and go to the in game store,
are you able to download the legacy pack?

If not then switch to your account and launch Hitman 1, can you then download the legacy pack ?

You shouldn't need to uninstall Hitman 1 or Hitman 2 to get this working.

Hello

The following information is from the Hitman Legacy Pack FAQ:

Ensure that you have the HITMAN ‘base game’ installed and downloaded the latest game update for HITMAN, released on November 8th 2018.
Ensure that you have the free “HITMAN 2 – Starter Pack” registered to your account. (You only need to ‘get’ this item, not have it downloaded or installed.)
- For clarity on the above step, simply installing all of the H2 content doesn’t necessarily meet this requirement. Even if you can see that “HITMAN 2 – Starter Pack” is installed on your console, you still need to ALSO search the store for “HITMAN
  2 – Starter Pack” and ‘get’ it.
Launch HITMAN and follow the prompts in the H1 in-game store to redeem and download your Legacy Pack.
When the Legacy Pack has installed, it will be playable within HITMAN 2 only.
