Preloading Mafia: The Old Country is already possible, which is excellent if you want to jump right into the gangster action the moment it launches. Knowing the file size is just as important, so you don’t get stuck scrambling for storage space on your console or PC. Let’s get into what you need to know.
Mafia: The Old Country is a prequel set in the early 1900s, but it’s coming out in 2025 with all the current bells and whistles, including preload support. So you can download it ahead of time, so no annoying waits on launch day.
So, when can you preload? You can preload it right now. Thanks to XboxEra, we know the Xbox version is available for download already. The review embargo date is still under wraps, but nothing’s stopping you from grabbing the game early if you’ve got the digital copy.
You can now Preload on PlayStation 5
Preloading is straightforward if you buy a digital copy. Physical copies don’t count here, so if you’re going physical, you’ll have to wait for your disc and then download the full game after. Digital users just need to:
- Pick your platform: PlayStation, Xbox, or PC.
- Head to the platform’s store.
- Search for Mafia: The Old Country.
- Choose your edition here.
- Purchase it.
- Hit download to preload.
- Then you’re all set to play the second it launches.
File Size Explained
The game takes up 41.34GB on Xbox and up to 55GB on PC. The PlayStation 5 file size hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s probably somewhere between 40GB and 50GB, similar to Xbox.
Honestly, the size feels reasonable compared to other AAA titles. But does that mean it’s enough content? That’s another story. What platform are you picking for this gangster adventure? And how do you feel about the file size?
