Who at Mafia: The Old Country Those hoping for top-notch technical performance on the PS5 Pro can already tick a small box. Hangar 13, the studio behind the Mafia prequel series, has delivered on X approvedthat the game will support the PS5 Pro at launch, including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), 120 Hz displays and higher dynamic resolution in both graphics modes, Quality and Performance.
More than just marketing fluff?
What does that mean exactly? While official details regarding native resolution or stable frame rate are still lacking, the trend clearly indicates that Mafia will be available on the PS5 Pro It aims for at least 4K resolution and 60 FPS. The Unreal Engine 5 delivers impressive lighting and weather effects, while previous trailers primarily promised realistic lighting and an authentic setting. The overall effect is technically solid to impressive, without Hangar 13 overreaching.
While VRR and 120Hz support is more of a bonus than a necessity for a story-driven action-adventure game, it signals that the PS5 Pro isn't being completely ignored. It's a nice touch for players with compatible displays who expect a smoother or more eye-friendly performance.
We're excited to confirm that Mafia: The Old Country will be PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced at launch, featuring:

When can we expect the first reviews?
Good news for everyone waiting for reliable reviews before buying: Hangar 13 has confirmed that review copies have already been distributed and the first reviews should be published in time for launch. This should give potential buyers enough time to get a feel for the game before making a final decision.
However, opinions on Reddit remain mixed. Some players express skepticism, especially regarding playtime and replay value. Others hope that trusted testers will finally provide clarity, particularly concerning performance on different PS5 models.
Mafia: The Old Country Technically, it's not in a bad position, assuming Hangar 13 delivers on its promises. PS5 Pro features are a given, and stable 4K performance, perhaps even with ray tracing, is expected, though concrete figures are still lacking. The real reviews at launch are the next crucial step to see if the game offers more than just pretty graphics and a familiar setting. Until then, the hype remains subdued, but with some hope for solid next-gen gameplay.

Pre-ordered ages ago
Frank Müller, isn't that woke?
Tobias Ströll thankfully not 🙂 these days you really have to search with a magnifying glass to find the cool games.
Already pre-ordered, my Pro will be happy
Maik Köhler also ordered from Spielegrotte. It's on its way to me as of today. I'm super excited!
Daven Dumke at the Grotto is also available at an unbeatable price! I changed my mind again and got it digitally.
No thanks, at that price it will be even worse than the last part.
Benny Lohrberg, the last part was a remake of the classic and cost €40.
