Mafia The Old Country: which platform plays it best?
What changes between PC, PS5, Xbox: resolution, FPS per mode, what each official store publishes and the FPS we measured on PC.
Quick verdict
The best version of Mafia The Old Country is the PC one, and among consoles PS5 wins.
Why PC wins
PC is the only version with free settings, and it ships the full upscaling set: TSR, DLSS 4.5, FSR 4 and XeSS 3, with frame generation from all three. It is also the hardest to drive: the fastest of the 31 cards we measured on the Epic preset, an RTX 5090, sits at 75-100 FPS at 1080p, and an RTX 4090 drops to 63-76.
PS5 versus Series X
On console PS5 leads Series X: it touches 60 FPS in quality mode at times and holds a higher average resolution, though its minimums fall a little lower. Both share two display modes and both let you turn Vsync off, with the game capped at 60 FPS.
Series S, the weak step
Series S is the weak step: no display modes and settings below everyone else's performance mode. Even with that, the analysis calls this one of the best optimisation jobs he has seen on Unreal Engine 5.
Series S fails to hold a stable 30 FPS at times.
