Excitement is building as the official PC specifications for Mafia: The Old Country have just been unveiled!
The highly anticipated next installment from the renowned Hangar 13 studio in the Mafia series is scheduled to hit the gaming world on August 8th. Gamers can eagerly prepare for action across multiple platforms, including PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
If you’re on the fence about which platform to choose, or simply want to ensure your rig can handle the demands of the game, the newly disclosed PC requirements will be a valuable guide.
The minimum specifications for Mafia: The Old Country suggest that players will need a gaming setup comparable to a PlayStation 5 in terms of GPU and CPU performance. For instance, the RX 5700 XT falls short of offering ray tracing capabilities but does have more compute units than the PS5.

Initially announced last year, Mafia: The Old Country promises an unparalleled immersive experience, featuring Sicilian voice acting and Italian subtitles right from the get-go.
The development team remarked in August, “Authenticity is at the heart of the Mafia franchise. This installment will showcase genuine Sicilian dialogue to align with its historical setting in 1900s Sicily, ensuring that players are fully immersed in the narrative.” They also mentioned that Italian language localization will enhance both the in-game UI and subtitle availability.
Moreover, Hangar 13 has indicated that this game will embrace a “focused, linear” approach to storytelling, which may appeal to fans who cherish a deeper, more engaging narrative experience and not just open-world chaos. The title is expected to retail at around £45 in the UK, which feels quite reasonable given the promises of top-notch voice acting and immersive storytelling.
