Mafia: The Old Country PC Specs, Story, and Launch Date Revealed

Mafia: The Old Country is officially launching on August 8, 2025, and Hangar 13 has now confirmed the PC system requirements for players looking to experience the upcoming action-drama. Developed with Unreal Engine 5, the game ditches the open-world approach of Mafia III and instead adopts a more focused, narrative-focused approach similar to the series’ earlier games.

Mafia: The Old Country Launches August 8 with High PC Specs and a Gritty Narrative-Driven Experience

The game will follow Enzo Favara, a young man navigating the gritty underworld of early 1900s Sicily. Gamers will get to see you ascend within Don Torrisi’s crime family, and the devs are promising this will be a brutal, heartfelt, and cinematic story. Thanks to the linear nature of the gameplay, performance concerns such as Unreal Engine’s known stuttering may be less of an issue, especially since there’s no need for large-scale world streaming.

PC gamers should note the system requirements. For minimum settings (1080p on Medium), you’ll need a Ryzen 7 2700X or Intel i7-9700K, 16GB RAM, and a GPU like the Radeon RX 5700 XT or RTX 2070. These specs are quite reasonable for modern mid-range systems. However, the recommended settings (1440p on High) raise the bar significantly, suggesting a Ryzen 7 5800X or Intel i7-12700K, 32GB RAM, and a powerful GPU like the Radeon RX 6950 XT or RTX 3080 Ti.

Storage requirements are modest at 55GB, but an SSD is mandatory for both performance tiers. The game will also be streamable through NVIDIA GeForce NOW for those who do not own high-end rigs. Mafia: The Old Country: World of Entertainment is selling the $50 (Standard Edition) game, and it has already received great attention, particularly from series veterans let down by Mafia III. Hangar 13 appears to be making an effort to return to the golden age of storytelling in past games with a tight, engaging story that’s more about characters and less about the sandbox mechanics.
