A native PS5 version of Mafia: Definitive Edition could be in the works, based on a new listing that has surfaced online. The original game currently runs on PS5 only via backwards compatibility with the PS4 version.
No official announcement has been made by 2K Games or developer Hangar 13, and specific details — pricing, a release date, or what PS5-specific features might be included — are not yet known. The listing alone is the source of the speculation.
Mafia: Definitive Edition launched in 2020 as a full remake of the 2002 original, rebuilding the story of Tommy Angelo and 1930s Lost Heaven from the ground up in a new engine. It was generally well received and sits alongside Mafia II: Definitive Edition and Mafia III: Definitive Edition as part of the Mafia Trilogy package. A native PS5 upgrade would follow a pattern seen with several other last-gen titles getting proper current-gen releases years after launch.
Until 2K or Hangar 13 confirm anything, treat this as unverified. If a native version does materialise, it would likely bring performance or visual improvements beyond what backwards compatibility currently offers.
