PS5 leads Mafia The Old Country sales

Sales data shows PS5 players account for a large share of Mafia The Old Country sales while the developers tease a free post launch update.

PS5 Dominates Mafia The Old Country Sales as Dev Teases Free Content

Sensor Tower estimates Mafia The Old Country has sold about 800,000 copies since launch. The data shows PS5 users account for 48.67 percent of sales, Steam at 37.86 percent, and Xbox at 13.47 percent. The split hints at a preference among console players for cinematic single player experiences, even as the game remains largely linear in a compact open world.

Hangar 13 has announced a free update named Free Ride, coming in the coming months with new activities and gameplay for all players. The plan mirrors past Mafia expansions that added missions and side activities, offering reasons to return after the main story is finished.

The sales data points to a broader pattern where narrative driven games perform strongly on PlayStation platforms. A free content update can be a cost effective way to extend a game life without new price tags or major reworks. For Hangar 13, the challenge is to deliver meaningful additions that meet player expectations while managing development budgets in a crowded market. If the Free Ride update lands well, it could repeat a successful lifecycle strategy seen in earlier Mafia titles and help sustain interest beyond the end of the narrative.
