Can I Run Mafia: Definitive Edition?
Released in 2020, Mafia: Definitive Edition is an action adventure game built by Hangar 13. Publishing duties went to 2K. It offers a single player campaign. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. At 6 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. Metacritic places it at 78. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. Completionists have 43 achievements to work through. Cloud saves are enabled. Its Steam review count passes 87 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a noir setting, moving through one continuous open world. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Mafia: Definitive Edition has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. It is played from a third person view. 9 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why Mafia: Definitive Edition is demanding
Demand in Mafia: Definitive Edition is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. The install is small at roughly 50 GB. A 64 bit version of Windows is required.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Mafia: Definitive Edition?
Mafia: Definitive Edition targets a mainstream modern PC: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon HD 7870 and 6 GB of RAM for the minimum, stepping up to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 for the recommended experience. No single part dominates the requirements, so a balanced mid-range build clears it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1.1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.62x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.27x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
