Six years after the release of Mafia: Definitive Edition on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, it looks like developer Hangar 13 and publisher 2K are bringing the title to current-gen consoles as well. A listing for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the title was spotted by Reddit users, which indicated that native versions of Mafia: Definitive Edition were in the works. However, at the time of publishing, the listing has been taken down.

While details about the supposed PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of Mafia: Definitive Edition are difficult to discern, it is likely that the title will run at higher frame rates than its PS4 and Xbox One release did. Since current-gen consoles are considerably more powerful than their predecessors, we can expect it to run at 60 FPS while targeting 4K on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and 1440p on Xbox Series S.

While Mafia: Definitive Edition is playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S thanks to the current-gen consoles supporting backwards compatibility, the title doesn’t really benefit from the extra horsepower, since Hangar 13 hadn’t enabled features like an unlocked framerate mode. Until a current-gen version finally comes out, PC will continue to remain the best way to experience the crime drama with high frame rates and resolution.

A remake of 2002’s Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, Mafia: Definitive Edition tells the story of taxi driver Thomas Angelo in the city of Lost Heaven. One night in 1930, Thomas, or Tommy as he goes on to become known, finds himself involved in a car chase when two gangsters jump into his taxi. What follows is an elaborate tale about how Tommy gets further involved with the local organized crime elements and rises up a crew’s ranks. The title lays much of the groundwork for the stories that would go on to be told in later games.

On the gameplay side of things, Mafia: Definitive Edition hedges its bets by offering both open-world gameplay as well as more linear story-based missions. While the open world can be explored to find new vehicles and even weapons, the missions form the core of the game, and also happen to be the primary means of progression when it comes to unlocking more content.

The most recent entry in the franchise was Mafia: The Old Country, which was released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in August 2025. Back in June, Hangar 13 had announced that it had been working on an expansion for the title. Dubbed Man of Honor, the expansion will revolve around a younger Don Salieri. The expansion is slated for release later this week.

In the meantime, take a look at our review of Mafia: The Old Country, which we gave a score of 8 out of 10 thanks to its storytelling, character development, and simple-but-effective stealth and combat systems. Our only complaint was that the story makes a strange transition as it reaches its climax, leaving us somewhat disappointed.
