A recent leak claimed that Mafia: Definitive Edition would be headed to Game Pass soon, and that has now been officially confirmed. Microsoft has announced that Hangar 13 and 2K’s acclaimed 2020 action-adventure remake will become available for Game Pass subscribers on console, PC, and cloud a couple of weeks from now, on August 13.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a complete, ground-up remake of the original Mafia title. Set in the fictional city of Lost Heaven, Illinois, it puts players in the shoes of Tommy Angelo and follows his story as he rises through the ranks of the Salieri crime family.
