Mafia: The Omertà Collection will be released on August 14: new versions and free updates
- The collection will be released on August 14 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
- Owners of previous Mafia games will receive a discount on the purchase.
- Upgrade to PS5/Xbox Series is free, up to 60 fps and enhancements.
- No new features on PC, only the re-release of the Definitive Edition.
On August 14, 2024, the global release of the Mafia: The Omertà Collection will take place, which will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This is the first major event in the series in the past year, and it promises to gather all the main parts of the franchise released by Hangar 13 in one package.
Discounts for owners of previous games
Everyone who has already purchased any of the Mafia series games will receive a special discount when buying the new edition. This policy is aimed at encouraging loyal players and easing the transition to the updated versions.
Free updates for previous generation consoles
The recently confirmed rumor about the porting of Mafia: Definitive Edition to modern consoles turned out to be true. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users will receive a free upgrade to the native versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. The updates promise to increase the frame rate to 60 fps and include a number of technical improvements that enhance stability and visual quality.
For PC owners, the situation is somewhat different: the collection does not include new features or improvements, as Definitive Edition versions 2 and 3 were already released digitally earlier. Thus, PC users will only receive familiar content without additional technical innovations.
Player communities are already discussing the possibility of obtaining new platinum trophies within the collection. Despite the known 'grind' in the third part, many gamers have expressed their willingness to play it again if corresponding achievements are introduced.
According to preliminary data, the native version with increased frame rates will only be available for the first part of the series. The other games will apparently remain ported versions running in backward compatibility mode.
The question of why the collection is called 'ultimate' remains open. Some note the absence of the original first Mafia, released in 2002, in the package. Aside from this omission, the set is considered complete and ready to satisfy both new and experienced fans of the series.
