For the first time in nearly a decade, the Mafia franchise is returning with a brand-new story. After the 2020 remake of the original title, fans have been eagerly awaiting a fresh chapter—and it’s finally here. Mafia: The Old Country is set to release on Friday, August 8, 2025, and developer Hangar 13 has now revealed the system requirements for PC players.
The new title demands serious hardware, even at 1080p, due to its reliance on image upscaling techniques. To run it natively at higher resolutions, players will need even more powerful setups than what’s officially listed.
System Requirements by Performance Tier
Minimum Requirements (1080p – Balanced Upscaling Mode)
Even the minimum spec targets 1080p only through upscaling from below 720p. That’s significantly more demanding than many recent games.
- OS: Windows 10/11
- CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
- RAM: 16 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
- Storage: 55 GB SSD
- Target Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Upscaled from below 720p)
Recommended Requirements (1440p – Quality Upscaling Mode)
To run the game at 1440p with higher visual fidelity (though still upscaled from below 1080p), high-end GPUs from a couple of generations ago are recommended. RAM requirements double at this tier.
- OS: Windows 10/11
- CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- RAM: 32 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT
- Storage: 55 GB SSD
- Target Resolution: 2560 x 1440 (Upscaled from ~960p)
Epic Requirements (4K – Quality Upscaling Mode)
For players aiming for top-tier visuals at 4K, the game still relies on upscaling—rendering internally at around 1440p. The suggested GPUs are mid-to-high-end models from the latest generations.
- OS: Windows 10/11
- CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K or AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
- RAM: 32 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 9070
- Storage: 55 GB SSD
- Target Resolution: 3840 x 2160 (Upscaled from ~1440p)
Note: Running the game at native resolutions (without upscaling) will require significantly more powerful hardware than what’s listed above.
Performance Notes & Technologies Supported
While the developer hasn’t specified the target FPS for each tier, it’s likely tuned around 60 FPS, especially given the use of upscaling.
Mafia: The Old Country will support a range of modern graphics technologies:
- Frame Generation: NVIDIA DLSS 4, AMD FSR 4, Intel XeSS 2
- Upscaling Engines: TSR (Epic Games), DLSS, FSR, XeSS
- Unlocked frame rates during gameplay (cutscenes locked at 30 FPS)
- V-Sync toggle
- Ultrawide monitor support
- HDR support
- Custom key bindings
- Accessibility options
Mafia: The Old Country is shaping up to be one of the most visually demanding games of 2025, even when using image upscaling. While its hardware requirements are high, the game also promises advanced rendering features and modern PC support. Players planning to dive in should check their specs—and possibly prepare for an upgrade if they want to enjoy the full experience.
