Even though support has been there for years
Here’s a big ol’ whoopsie from Hangar 13. When the developer released “definitive editions” of both Mafia IIand Mafia IIIlast week, it inadvertently stripped outMafia IIIenhancements for the high-end consoles. Or, it forgot they existed in the first place. It’s all very confounding.
Digital Foundry discovered that Mafia III: Definitive Editiondoesn’t have support for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X enhancements (as reported by its sister site Eurogamer). The base game has had upscaled 4K support and other features on PS4 Pro since December 2016 and on Xbox One X since November 2017. Now, there’s a 10GB Definitive Edition patch — it’s a free upgrade on all platforms for owners of the base game, and it includes all the DLC at no extra cost — but it accidentally removes PS4 Pro and Xbox One X features.
As a result, playingMafia IIIon Xbox One X has the game running at 900p instead of 1728p. That’s a significant downgrade. Players have opened support tickets with 2K Games complaining of blurry and muddy visuals.
2K tells Eurogamer “The development team supporting Mafia III: Definitive Edition is aware of this issue and is working to restore support for Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro as soon as possible.”
