One of August 2025’s Biggest Games Has Some Serious PS5 Pro Enhancements

In simpler terms, one of the highly anticipated PS5 games set for release in August 2025, which is actually coming out a month early on August 8, will include some significant improvements specifically designed for the PS5 Pro version. These enhancements will be accessible immediately upon the game’s launch on the PlayStation Store and PSN. If you’re unfamiliar with the term “enhanced” in relation to a PS5 Pro game, it means that the developers have invested extra time and resources to optimize the game to take advantage of the additional power provided by the PS5 Pro, resulting in added features or improved gameplay experience.

It’s common sense that the PS5 Pro version of a game will generally perform better than its base PS5 counterpart, thanks to more specific enhancements. However, it’s worth noting that in some instances, a game might unexpectedly run less smoothly on the PS5 Pro due to PlayStation Store Registration issues, which Sony is actively addressing. Fingers crossed that Mafia: The Old Country, set to be released soon and optimized for the PS5 Pro, won’t fall into this category, given the efforts of developers Hangar 13 and publishers 2K Games to create an exceptional experience on the premium Sony platform.

On August 8th, when Mafia: The Old Country is set to launch, it will offer Variable Refresh Rate support on the PS5 Pro and compatibility with 120hz displays. Moreover, the developers have pledged to enhance resolution dynamically in both “Quality” and “Performance” modes. If all these features are implemented well, the PS5 Pro version of Mafia: The Old Country should offer a significantly improved gaming experience compared to the standard PS5 version.

Regarding the game at hand, let me clarify that it’s called Mafia: The Old Country. For those not familiar, this is an action-adventure title and it holds significance as both the fourth installment in the main Mafia series, while also serving as a prequel to the original game.

Even more enticing is the affordable price tag of just $49.99. Given the AAA-level productions behind this game, it’s a steal that shouldn’t be missed!
