Microsoft has officially announced that Mafia: Definitive Edition will join Xbox Game Pass on August 13. The announcement was made via a post on the subscription service’s official account. The game will be available for console, PC, and cloud gaming players. This means that regardless of the platform you play on, you will be able to enjoy the title as long as you have the relevant subscription.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is an action-adventure video game developed by Hanger 13. It was released in 2020 and is a remake of the original Mafia video game that debuted in 2002. The newer version carries missions and character arcs from the original but also features an expanded story and new assets.
The game’s story takes place in a fictional city called Lost Heaven, situated in 1930s Illinois, USA. It revolves around the life journey of Tommy Angelo, who starts as a cab driver but gets mingled with the Italian Mafia family. It is one of the highly acclaimed remakes of games that one should have on their wishlist.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is the second major title release announcement for Xbox Game Pass in the past week. The subscription service recently received Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 as its first Call of Duty game release since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision. It was one of the most anticipated releases of the service, and many Xbox fans were eagerly waiting for it.
Xbox Game Pass is also confirmed to offer the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as a day-one release. The addition of such big titles seems to be why Microsoft hiked Xbox Game Pass prices. It also introduced a new subscription tier called Xbox Game Pass Standard that offers all the benefits, excluding day-one releases.
