One game that you can check out right now on Xbox Game Pass is Mafia: Definitive Edition, a remake of the original PC classic of 2002. This remake has stunning new visuals, a newly recorded voice cast, soundtrack, missions, gameplay improvements and much more.
“Re-made from the ground up, rise through the ranks of the Mafia during the Prohibition era of organised crime. After a run-in with the mob, cab driver Tommy Angelo is thrust into a deadly underworld. Initially uneasy about falling in with the Salieri crime family, Tommy soon finds that the rewards are too big to ignore,” reads the description of the remake.

Mafia: Definitive Edition scored a decent but respectable 78 on the aggregate website Metacritic, but in my opinion, it’s a game deserving of the mid to high 80s, as indicated by these reviews.
“Hangar 13 has retouched every single aspect of the original Mafia, expanding the story, refining the gameplay, and wrapping it with an absolutely phenomenal new look and sound, elevating it to an entirely new and modern level. It’s good to be part of the family once more,” wrote GamingTrend.
“All this time, the first Mafia was the best of the trio. It just took a phenomenal effort from Hangar 13 to do it justice with Mafia: Definitive Edition,” said Destructoid. “This feels like the rare necessary remake that elevates and builds upon the original. It's truly an offer you can't refuse.”
Mafia: Definitive Edition is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and of course, it’s available for Xbox Game Pass subscribers at no extra cost.
