While the Grand Theft Auto series is the biggest series in Take-Two Interactive’s IP collection, there are many more franchises under its control.
One such series that it oversees is Mafia, and while Mafia: The Old Country didn’t get gamers as excited as Grand Theft Auto VI, it still has its fans.
Mafia: Definitive <a href="https://comicvibe.com/total-chaos-vr-edition-revealed/” title=”TOTAL CHAOS VR EDITION REVEALED”>Edition is a different story, though. It’s a beloved remake, and rumour has it that it’ll one day be joined by a Mafia 2 remake as well.
Now it’s finally made its way to PlayStation 5 consoles, with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a new-gen console port.
There’s a catch, however: the free upgrade isn’t available for everyone, which will surely leave many PlayStation 5 owners thoroughly disappointed.

How to claimMafia: Definitive Edition’s PlayStation 5 upgrade
Those who bought the game digitally or own a physical copy for the PlayStation 4 should have no issue claiming their free upgrade.
As long as a purchase is tied to your account, you can redeem a free digitalcopy of the PlayStation 5 version. We’re sure PlayStation gamers are sick of that word by now: ‘digital’. We can’t blame them after the latest Sony hijinks.
Unfortunately, those who play the gamet user ZXXII shared a Discord message from a 2K staff member confirming the news
That’s not uncommon, but it’s still a massive let-down. You might not technically own the game due to renting itey for what’s now considered a lesser version
At the time of writing, it’s unknown if PlayStation plans to update its PlayStation Plus offering with the new-gen version of Mafia: Definitive Edition. It probably will, but we have no way of knowing when that’ll be.
In the meantime, you can probably just get yourself a second-hand copy of Mafia: Definitive Editionfor the PlayStation 4. When you put the disc into your console, it should be upgraded to the PlayStation 5 version.
What’s included in the Mafia: The Omertà Collection?
Alongside a PlayStation 5 upgrade for the first Mafia game came a new collection titled Mafia: The Omertà Collection, featuring all previously released games in the series.
The original trilogy is featured in the collection, including Mafia: Definitive Edition, Mafia II: Definitive Edition,andMafia III: Definitive Edition.
Also included isMafia: The Old Country Definitive Edition, which is said to replace the previously released Mafia: The Old Country Deluxe Edition.
If you already own some of these games, but not others, you’ll be entitled to a discount equivalent to whichever ones you’re missing. It goes on sale later today, August 14.
So, a pretty mixed bag of news altogether. The new collection is rather exciting and a great way to get into this legendary series if you haven’t already, but PlayStation Plus continues to kick subscribers in the teeth with its lack of new-gen upgrades, or rather, its delayof upgrades.
