Mafia: The Old Country to Benefit from PlayStation 5 Pro Enhancements

Following a protracted absence of new installments in the franchise, publisher 2K Games is poised to release Mafia: The Old Country, a prequel detailing the formative years of the Italian-American mafia. The title, serving as an origin story for the “Cosa Nostra,” arrives on August 8, 2025, marking a return to the series after nearly a decade since the debut of Mafia III in 2016 and five years since the remake of the original game, Mafia: Definitive Edition.

Prior to its launch, official communication channels for the Mafia video game franchise confirmed support for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro console model. This implementation will encompass several technical improvements including enhanced dynamic resolution across all visual modes, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) compatibility, and native support for displays with a 120Hz refresh rate.

While comprehensive performance assessments remain pending from specialist analysis groups such as Digital Foundry, the announced features represent a measured approach to leveraging the PS5 Pro’s capabilities. While achieving a consistent framerate of 120 frames per second is improbable – a feature that would have likely been prominently advertised– console users are anticipated to experience an optimized gameplay encounter on the PlayStation 5 Pro platform. The initial report originated with GameDaily on August 7, 2025.
