Mafia: The Old Country Reaches 1.2 Million Sales, PS5 Dominates According to Analysts
Alinea Analytics, a respected analytical resource, recently published an article highlighting the most successful new game releases of August. Within this report, they revealed impressive sales figures for Mafia: The Old Country, the latest installment in the popular series. According to the data, the game had sold an estimated 1.2 million copies by the beginning of September.
These statistics encompass both digital and physical sales across all platforms. Alinea Analytics indicates that the PlayStation 5 version of Mafia: The Old Country was the most popular, significantly outpacing other platforms. PC (Steam) secured the second spot, while Xbox Series consoles ranked third. The detailed breakdown is as follows:
- PlayStation 5: 643,000 copies
- PC (Steam): 337,000 copies
- Xbox Series: 117,000 copies
It's important to note that this information remains unofficial, as Hangar 13, the game's developer, has not yet released its own sales figures. However, the game's overall success is hard to dispute, supported by a peak concurrent player count of 35,247 on Steam and over 14,000 user reviews. While impressive, the game's overall rating has settled at a 'Mixed' 69% on Steam. Much of the criticism from players points to a short campaign, repetitive gunplay, a predictable story, and a lack of replayability.
Despite some mixed reception, the development team at Hangar 13 is already working on additional content. They have promised a free update in the coming months that will introduce a highly anticipated 'Free Roam' mode, which many fans believe will address some of the game's current shortcomings and offer more content for players to explore.
For players, these sales figures confirm the continued interest in the Mafia series, even with a new entry that has received mixed reviews. The upcoming free 'Free Roam' update signals that Hangar 13 is committed to improving the player experience and adding value, potentially addressing some of the community's concerns about the game's longevity and content. This could be a significant step in enhancing Mafia: The Old Country for its growing player base.
