Major PS5 Action Adventure Game Gets August Release Date
In a recent Steam blog post from Hanger 13, the company shared it will hold a developers panel for Mafia: The Old Country on May 8 at PAX East in Boston, MA. Much of the information is standard for these kinds of posts on the english version of the post. However, other language versions of the article revealed the release date for the upcoming game. That date is August 8, 2025. Those lines have since been deleted.
The developers panel for Mafia: The Old Country, hosted by Kinda Funny's Greg Miller, will feature a brand-new Gameplay Trailer and share some behind-the-scenes footage from the series' past, present, and future. Although not confirmed, this release date may be formally revealed during the panel. The event will have a Q&A section with Studio President Nick Baynes, Game Director Alex Cox, and Cinematics Director Tomas Hrebicek.
Additionally, those who attend may receive 'a little reward for their show of loyalty.'
Mafia: The Old Country was revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The short trailer showed its 1900s Sicily setting.
'Uncover the origins of organized crime in Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily,' says the game's description. 'Fight to survive as Enzo Favara and prove your worth to the Cosa Nostra in this immersive third-person action-adventure set during a dangerous, unforgiving era.'
Mafia: The Old Country is the fourth entry in the series—the inaugural title launched in 2002, the second in 2010, and the third in 2016.

Spider-Man and Mortal Kombat 1 head up August's PS Plus Game Catalog additions
Sony just announced some new additions to the PS Plus Game Catalog for August and it's a pretty beefy lineup. All of these titles will be ready to play on August 19. There's something here for just about everyone, so let's get started. Perhaps the biggest game of the bunch is Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. This is the PS5 port of the PS4 hit, which upgrades the graphics and swaps out the actor playing Peter Parker. PS4 owners aren't being left out in the cold here, as Marvel's Spider-Man: Game of the Year Edition will also be available. Not into web-slinging? Mortal Kombat 1 will be available for PS5 players. This is the latest and greatest fighting game in the long-running franchise. It garnered positive reviews upon launch back in 2023. The graphics are stunning and there's a Johnny Cage skin made to resemble actor Jean-Claude Van Damme. The fantasy surfing adventure Sword of the Sea will be available for subscribers as a day one release on August 19. That's the same day it launches for all platforms. This one's by the same developers behind Journey and Abzû, so color us excited. Other games available on August 19 include the utterly charming narrative adventure Harold Halibut and the horrifically captivating Indika. Beyond that, there's the life sim Coral Island and the RPG Atelier Ryza 3 Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key.

PUBG: Battlegrounds will leave PS4 and Xbox One behind later this year
PUBG: Battlegrounds is finally ready to ditch last-gen consoles. On Wednesday, the developer said that the game will transition to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 13. Although the battle royale has been playable on current-gen consoles all along, it was running as a PS4 or Xbox One game. That helped it cast a wide net (and probably make more money), but it also came with technical limitations. The company said the move to current-gen will "provide our players with a more stable gameplay environment on console and ensure a smoother, more seamless experience with future updates." PS5 players can expect the new version to play in 1440p at 60fps. Both the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X will reach 2160p at 60fps. However, the two high-end systems will support Dynamic 4K resolution. Meanwhile, the Xbox Series S will run at 1080p at 60fps or 1440p at 30fps. (Your choice.) Here's how PUBG: Battlegrounds currently looks on PS5. Screenshot of PUBG on PS5 before an upcoming update. A scene with old cars and desolate houses. (PUBG / Krafton) And this is how it will look after November 13. It's a subtle difference at first glance, but you can see more detail, including pronounced shadows. Screenshot of PUBG on PS5 after an upcoming update. A scene with old cars and desolate houses. (PUBG / Krafton) When the cutoff arrives, the game will no longer be downloadable or playable on PS4 and Xbox One. PlayStation users will need to download a separate PS5 version of the game on November 13. If you already have it installed on your Xbox Series X/S, the current-gen update will install automatically via Microsoft's Smart Delivery. On both systems, your existing account data and purchased items will transition automatically. PUBG left its last-gen users a sentimental message that sounds a bit like a corporate layoff letter. "We still vividly remember the epic battles, the heart-stopping moments, and the camaraderie that brought us together," the company wrote. "We are deeply grateful for every moment you've spent with us over the past eight years."
