Mafia: Definitive Edition Rating Suggests Current-Gen Ports Are On the Way
Mafia: Definitive Edition, the 2020 remake of the classic crime game, appears to be heading to current-generation consoles after six years on previous hardware. An ESRB rating listing the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S has emerged online, typically signaling an imminent re-release. The rating was discovered by fans on the ESRB website and shared on social media platforms.
The original Mafia: Definitive Edition was released in 2020 as a complete rebuild from the ground up, following protagonist Tommy Angelo through his criminal career with the Salieri Family during Prohibition-era America. The game initially launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a PC version also available.
The discovery of the ESRB rating particularly excites players who have long requested a 60FPS performance upgrade for the Xbox Series X and Series S versions, which have remained limited to their original frame rate targets since launch. The presence of an ESRB rating suggests a release could occur in the near future, though publisher 2K Games has not yet made an official announcement regarding the ports or upgrade. The timing remains uncertain, as ESRB ratings sometimes precede actual releases by several months.
