Mafia: The Old Country is bringing the fan-favorite franchise back to its roots, and we’ve got all the details on its Xbox Game Pass status.
Releasing on August 8, gameplay released from Mafia: The Old Country has caught the eye, while headlines have been made by the removal of open-world and a price point of just $50.
While it is more affordable than many other modern releases, those with a Game Pass subscription will want to know whether the title is included. We’ve got all the details.
Can You Play Mafia: The Old Country on Xbox Game Pass?
No, Mafia: The Old Country will not be available with an Xbox Game Pass subscription when it releases on August 8.
Mafia: The Old Country is not an Xbox first-party title, and there has not been any announcement on the game coming to the service, which confirms it won’t be included.
While Xbox is yet to announce the first wave of August titles coming to Game Pass, an announcement of Mafia: The Old Country featuring would have likely come well in advance. Given there has been no such announcement, the Hangar 13 title will not be featured.
This isn’t too surprising as a franchise like Mafia does not need more eyes on the game from Game Pass, nor does Hangar 13 need a financial boost given the backing from 2K Games.
That doesn’t mean the door has shut permanently, though it won’t be arriving on Game Pass anytime soon after its global launch.
Will Mafia: The Old Country Come to Xbox Game Pass?
Mafia: The Old Country could be added to the Game Pass catalogue at a later date, but there is no news of this, and it would likely come far into the future.
2K Games and Hangar 13 have a history of working with Game Pass, with Mafia: Definitive Edition added to the service in August 2024. It was removed from the service earlier this month.
Mafia: Definitive Edition was released in September 2020, meaning it took almost four years for the title to be included on Game Pass. That shows that any similar move for Mafia: The Old Country will likely come long in the future.
This means that the best course of action if you’re looking to enjoy Mafia: The Old Country as soon as possible is to purchase the game outright, as it will likely be a long wait until you can play it through other means.
