As other games cost more, Mafia: The Old Country just got cheaper

Fans of gaming have been hit hard later when it comes to the cost of their hobby, with Nintendo breaking open the dam of game costs with $80 Mario Kart World. That move has led to Microsoft announcing that some of its first-party titles would cost $80 starting in the holiday season of 2025. But that's not the only new pricing trend hitting gaming; the other one is moving in the opposite direction in interesting ways. During a financial earnings call (via GameSpot), Take-Two revealed that the next entry in the Mafia series, Mafia: The Old Country, will cost $50, coming in under the $70 price tag that has been standard for a few years. That's not the only game coming in under the expected price this year, and if the other examples are anything to go by, it may just prove to be a smart move.
