Mafia: The Old Country PC Specs Demand PS5-Level GPU
Hangar 13’s upcoming title Mafia: The Old Country is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most visually impressive games—and it’s demanding hardware to match. The studio recently revealed the game’s minimum and recommended PC system requirements, and fans were quick to notice that even the minimum settings call for a GPU comparable to the PS5.
Set to launch on August 8, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, The Old Country is built on Unreal Engine 5, leveraging high-end tech like Lumen and Nanite to deliver cinematic visuals. However, this also means older and budget systems may struggle.

Performance and Visuals Mafia: The Old Country aims for cinematic realism using cutting-edge UE5 tools. The developers claim the game’s demanding specs ensure immersive lighting, detailed environments, and seamless transitions—hallmarks of the next-gen experience.
While this level of visual fidelity will excite players with powerful setups, it also narrows accessibility. Requiring a GPU on par with a PS5 just to run the game on medium at 1080p may discourage a large segment of the player base. Still, for those with the hardware, The Old Country could be one of the most immersive and technically ambitious Mafia titles to date. This high barrier of entry may also serve as a signal of the game’s ambitions to redefine what’s possible in narrative-driven crime sagas.
