2K Games has announced that Mafia 3 is free to play on Steam. From today and until May 7th, PC gamers can download and play this Mafia game. As the title suggests, this is a free to play offer, meaning that you won’t be able to access the game afterwards (unless of course you purchase it).
2K Games is also offering Mafia 3 with a 75% discount. As such, you can get Mafia 3 for only 9,99€. Naturally, your progress will transfer to the final version once – and if – you purchase it.
Unfortunately, the PC version of Mafia 3 had some optimization issues. And while Hangar 13 has released a patch that unlocked its framerate, it did not provide any major optimization/performance tweaks. As such, owners of older CPUs will encounter performance issues. On the other hand, owners of newer CPUs can overcome these optimization issues.
Lastly, 2K Games is preparing a Definitive Edition for Mafia 3. My guess is that this version will not have any performance/optimization improvements. However, we may get some higher resolution textures, as well as some new graphical effects.
But anyway, you can download and start playing Mafia 3 from here.
Have fun!

You could beat the game in that amount of time. Noice.
No you can’t, Mafia 3 is long, drawn out and boring as hell. I don’t know who thought this would be fun at all. The lead developer in Mafia 3 was a straight dummy.
I wouldn’t play this garbage even if it was free to keep.
pay me first
savage love it
I can’t wait for both the remaster of Mafia 2 and Mafia 3. Never played M3 yet, so I can wait a while longer.
Worst Mafia game
What’s the point in releasing a “Definitive Edition” when there won’t be any optimization or performance improvements in the first place ?
The game will still lag on high-end systems, let alone lower-end RIGs.
FWIW, this game was a “stutter fest” on my RX 480/i7 4790 setup. Lowering down any of the game’s video/graphics settings did not help with the performance or Lag, lol.
Unless they plan to rework the game, I see no point. The entire game needs to be reworked. The gameplay/sequence is trash. Whoever designed Mafia 3 is an idiot. They actually thought that would be fun. Its the same thing over and over and over and over again. Who the hell thought this was going to be fun.
Agree, The gameplay is highly repetitive and boring as hell. Runs like s**** on the PC, because of the god-awful optimization.
Story is bland as well. You need to complete the same type of missions several time to progress further in the game. Like you said, whoever designed and made Mafia 3 is just plain stupid.
The long azz driving mission from point’ A to B is the worst thing in this game. You feel your not a mafia but an errand boy with car. Also lack of fast travel point’ is hilarious..
True dat !
You’d have to pay me a lot to play this joke of a game.
I regret buying this game

Played it the last time it was free. Wasn’t worth it.
