Whispers abound in the Gaming industry, implying that a well-known open-world classic and a possible Grand Theft Auto rival might shortly grace Xbox Game Pass in August. For Xbox Game Pass members who yearn for a taste of video game crime, this news might be especially intriguing.
Grand Theft Auto is much praised as the best open-world experience, but other games have definitely made their mark in the field. Though Rockstar's violent sandbox may be the best, the Mafia series has comforted those looking for a more ordered criminal experience. With its emphasis on complex stories and thorough world-building, this franchise offers a convincing substitute for the Grand Theft Auto model.
Dollar99Man posted on Reddit a piece from leaker NateDrake alleging Mafia would join Xbox Game Pass in August. It is yet unknown the particular game inside the series, which consists of three main titles and several remasters/remakes. Many, though, conjecture it could be Mafia III or Mafia: Definitive Edition. Although Nate Drake has a past of precisely forecasting several announcements, his record is not perfect. On Reddit, he is classified as a "Tier 2 Source," meaning "Generally Reliable" material, albeit some degree of doubt is always advised.
Though they lack the same degree of popularity as Grand Theft Auto, the Mafia games have earned great respect among players. Renowned for its narrative and writing, the original Mafia, first released in 2002 and subsequently reimagined as Mafia: Definitive Edition in 2020, Many call it among the most interesting open-world narratives available. Though it might not have Grand Theft Auto's varied gameplay experiences, Tommy Angelo's story is unquestionably gripping, particularly in its Definitive Edition form.
Building on the ground set by the first game, Mafia II and Mafia III provided less interesting open-world activities but made up for it with amazing narrative. The Mafia series will satisfy fans of Xbox Game Pass looking for a crime drama fix as Grand Theft Auto VI is not yet out. The sole unresolved issue is whether the stories about its inclusion in Game Pass are accurate.
Given a leak implying a possible comeback of Don Salieri in Mafia 4, the next game might be a prelude to the first one of the franchise. Fans can celebrate knowing that a fourth game is under development even though the Mafia series has not seen a fresh release in some years. Though this is just conjecture, if the Mafia series does join Game Pass it may act as a marketing tool for the forthcoming game.
