Mafia: Definitive Edition has appeared in the ESRB ratings database for PS5 and Xbox Series, despite the game currently being associated with backward-compatible play on those consoles.
The ESRB rating entry is the source of the discovery. Its presence suggests that a native version or console upgrade could be in the works, although the listing alone does not confirm what form the release would take.
For now, there is no launch date or additional information about possible improvements for the newer hardware. On PS5, the game currently runs through backward compatibility as the PS4 version at 30 frames per second, so a native build could potentially allow for 60 fps or visual improvements. Neither possibility is confirmed by the rating. Players should also treat the listing as an indication rather than a full announcement, since an ESRB rating does not explain when or how the game might become available.
