Updated on July 29, 2024: leaker eXtas1s corroborated this report, specifying that Mafia: Definitive Edition is supposedly coming to Xbox Game Pass on August 13. The original story is as follows.
Summary
- Mafia: Definitive Edition is reportedly coming to Xbox Game Pass sometime in August 2024.
- This would be the first-ever Mafia entry to make its way to Microsoft's subscription service.
- Xbox Game Pass currently has 3 confirmed titles for August 2024: Creatures of Ava, Core Keeper, and SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato.
Xbox Game Pass will add Mafia: Definitive Edition in August 2024, according to a new report from a well-known leaker. This purported release would mark the series' long-awaited Xbox Game Pass debut.
While Microsoft's subscription service has enjoyed 2K's support for many a year, it has yet to receive any of the publisher's Mafia titles. The latest of those hit the market in 2020 when 2K released its original Mafia remake and remastered of the subsequent two entries in the franchise.
Even More Xbox Game Pass Tier Changes Could Be on the Way
A newly surfaced report indicates that even more changes to Xbox Game Pass tiers might currently be in the works at Microsoft.
Mafia: Definitive Edition Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Leaker Claims
Four years later, Mafia: Definitive Edition is finally on its way to Xbox Game Pass, according to leaker NateDrake, also known as Nate The Hate. The insider took to the ResetEra forums in late July to claim that the remake of the first entry in the franchise is planned to reach Microsoft's subscription content library sometime in August 2024.
While Xbox Game Pass release leaks are far from a rarity, they have become particularly plentiful in recent weeks. E.g., it was only a few days ago that Spanish YouTuber eXtas1s reported that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is coming to Xbox Game Pass on August 8. Shortly before that, the same source also leaked the July 24 arrival of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Likewise, eXtas1s correctly predicted the recent additions of Tchia, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and the Octopath Traveler series to the XGP library.
As for the leak at hand, the purported arrival of Mafia: Definitive Edition would serve as a major boon to the selection of high-quality open-world titles on Xbox Game Pass. The 2020 remake has been praised by both fans and critics alike, as underlined by its 58,000-plus "Very Positive" Steam reviews, as well as its OpenCritic average score of 78. The game also boasts an 81% reviewer recommendation rate on OpenCritic, having received widespread acclaim for its intoxicating atmosphere, immense production values, and driving physics improvements, among other qualities.
Xbox Game Pass Currently Has 3 Confirmed Games For August 2024
The list of confirmed August 2024 additions to Xbox Game Pass currently consists of only three titles. The first of those is Creatures of Ava, Inverge Studios' creature-saving game that's scheduled to reach the service on August 7. Pugstorm's survival sandbox adventure Core Keeper is then set to follow suit exactly 20 days later. StudioBando's quirky adventure SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato has also been confirmed for a day-one Xbox Game Pass debut in August, although it is still waiting for a precise release date. Before any of those titles arrive, the XGP library will lose three games on July 31: Train Sim World 4, A Short Hike, and Venba.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship game subscription service that offers over 100 game titles that you can play with a single purchase, making it one of the most outstanding value propositions of the Xbox ecosystem to date.
