- Take Two Interactive and 2K Games have announced a price of $ 49.99 and the August launch date for Mafia: The old country
- It comes in the middle of the movements of Nintendo and Microsoft towards games of $ 80
- This raises questions about Grand Theft Auto 6The price of the time when it is launched in 2026
While the highly anticipated title of Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto 6It is on the radar of most players with their recent delay announcement and their trailer launch, another title that is also under Take Two Interactive umbrella finally has a launch date, and its most affordable price can be a surprise.
It has been revealed that Mafia: The old country It will be launched on August 8, 2025 and will reach PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S series, and PC. It will be launched with a standard edition that reaches $ 49.99 and a luxury edition for $ 59.99, which are available for pre-periods now.
This occurs after Nintendo and Microsoft began to increase the prices of some games to the $ 80 brand. It is worth noting that the new game prices for Microsoft will not enter into force until the beginning of this holiday season, and we are still waiting to see if Sony follows its example.
However, the price of $ 49.99 for Mafia: The old country It seems to be much less about the interactive and 2K games that do not follow the trend of $ 80, and more about the linear and shorter line presentation of the game. The 2K president, David Ismailer, said: “We believe that there is a large audience for convincing stories that do not require mass time commitments,” he suggests The old country having a short execution time.
Borderlands 4 It is also launched a month later, on September 12, but there is still no pre-periodic or price information about that title. There is no doubt that next Mafia The price of the game will make the players wonder what it means to the looters looter and GTA 6.
Take Two Interactive has the opportunity to see Nintendo, Microsoft and any other company that charges $ 80, but I don’t think it will …
To say that I hate $ 80, even the prices of the game of $ 70, is a euphemism and it has been sad to see Nintendo and Microsoft start the trend. It is only a matter of time until Sony is one to the party and so that the vast majority of the game editors follow it.
I desperately hope that Take Two Interactive does not move, but seems unlikely. Players have been waiting GTA 6 For twelve years, with thirteen years due to its delay of 2026, and it is safe to say that a large majority of the players are willing to pay more than $ 80 for it.
Taking into account the rumors of the $ 2 billion budget of the game, a higher price label could be justified, but if Take-Two Interactive charged $ 70 (or even lower) for the long-awaited title, it would be badly reflected in Microsoft and Nintendo and would help fly from the shelves and crush even more than what will probably do it.
The reasoning is simple: it is GTA 6Possibly the most anticipated game of all time. Rockstar Games is in a league of its own when it comes to size, scope and attention to detail and if I was going to choose between Mario de Mario Kart at $ 80 and GTA 6 With the latter cheaper, it is an easy decision.
