Mafia: Definitive Edition is getting the current-gen console release players have been waiting for. The 2020 remake comes to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on August 14 with 60 FPS gameplay and technical improvements.

The upgrade was announced through 2K's official Mafia site alongside Mafia: The Omertà Collection, a new digital bundle that puts all four Mafia games in one package. The collection is useful for newcomers, but the free-upgrade rules matter more if Mafia: Definitive Edition is already in your library.

What changes on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

The new console version runs at 60 FPS and includes unspecified technical improvements. 2K describes it as the same Mafia: Definitive Edition released in 2020, so this is a current-gen upgrade rather than a remake of the remake.

2K has not published a full resolution target or detailed patch list yet. The announcement also does not promise equivalent 60 FPS upgrades for Mafia II: Definitive Edition or Mafia III: Definitive Edition. For now, the confirmed current-gen work applies to the first Mafia remake.

The lack of save transfer is the main catch. PS4 and Xbox One save files cannot move into the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions. Returning players can upgrade the game, but they will need to begin Tommy Angelo's story again.

Who gets the free upgrade

PlayStation owners have the simplest path. Anyone who owns Mafia: Definitive Edition on PS4, physically or digitally, can download the PS5 digital version at no extra cost.

On Xbox, the free digital upgrade is available to owners of the digital Xbox One version. The offer does not cover physical Xbox One copies. A separate download is required on both platforms, and 2K limits the offer to one per customer.
