Quick verdict

The best version of Mafia The Old Country is the PC one, and among consoles PS5 wins.

Best graphics experience PC the full upscaling set: TSR, DLSS 4.5, FSR 4 and XeSS 3
Best console experience PS5 touches 60 fps in quality and outresolves Series X
Highest console settings PS5 Pro cuts less in performance and adds draw distance over PS5
Cheapest key PC 8.61 € against 23.37 € on Xbox and 29.99 € on PS5

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.
