Amazing PS4 Open-World Game Hits Lowest Price Ever on PS Store

Alright, so here’s the thing. The PlayStation Store seems to always have some kind of sale going on, right? And I mean, every time you blink, there’s another deal. This time, it’s like a major steal on one of those open-world game remakes everyone’s been talking about. It’s never been this cheap before—or at least that’s what they want me to believe.

So, Mafia: Definitive Edition. Yeah, it’s slashed by 85% right now on the PS Store. Quick math—it’s $5.99 instead of $39.99. If you do the math in your head while you’re grabbing coffee, maybe it feels different, but that’s a whole $34 off! And it’s got this deadline, like a ‘hurry up before it disappears’ thing. May 13 at 2:59 a.m. ET sharp. Why 2:59 a.m.? No idea. Something about that time feels random. Or strategic. Or just, I dunno, “corporate mysterious.”

Anyway, the game itself tells this classic story. Tommy Angelo—cabby turned mobster, right? Lost Heaven, 1930. A scene right out of those black-and-white movies with the hats and coats. An accidental run-in with the Mafia flips his world upside down. Suddenly, he’s in deep, running jobs for the big boss, Don Salieri, and rubbing elbows with the city’s shifty elite. Like, everyone’s got a secret and the whole who’s-friend-or-foe drama is the name of the game.

Oh, and if Mafia: Definitive Edition is your jam, there’s more good news. The Mafia Trilogy deal is there too—$11.99 for all three games. I mean, I guess when you’re already getting one at $5.99, six bucks more isn’t that big of a stretch. It’s like grabbing a drink with your game if that analogy works?

Now, when it launched back in 2020, people said okay-ish things. Like a 78 on Metacritic. Not too shabby for a 2002 remake by Illusion Softworks. These throwbacks, they somehow feel like new and old memories at the same time, you know?

And here’s a stray thought—perfect timing to dive into Mafia: Definitive Edition because there’s a new game coming soon. Mafia: The Old Country hits PS5 on August 7. Although every gaming company seems to be jacking up prices, this one’s holding steady at $49.99. Maybe that’s their little surprise twist?

Anyway—who knows why one sale stands out over another? Maybe it’s the nostalgia trip or just because it’s cheap. Or both. Whatever the reason, it’s a moment to ponder while sipping your overpriced latte.
