Free Ride mode is officially on the way to Mafia: The Old Country, and it will not cost you a cent. The studio confirmed that the fan favorite sandbox experience will arrive as a free update for all players in the coming months, bringing fresh activities and additional gameplay content. Exact features and a release date were not announced, with the team saying it will have more to share later.

In a message to the community, the developers thanked players for helping make launch a success. They called the Mafia fandom passionate and fiercely loyal, and said the support and dedication from fans are the reason they get to craft gritty crime dramas. The note adds that the team is humbled and eternally grateful, setting an appreciative tone as post launch plans take shape.

Free Ride has historically offered a playground to explore the city, test vehicles, discover side activities, and chase secrets between story missions. While the studio has not detailed the exact shape of this version, the promise of new activities and gameplay content suggests more reasons to roam, and more ways to stir up trouble outside the critical path.

For now, players can settle into the Old Country and tackle the campaign, then keep an eye on official channels for the next briefing on Free Ride. When the update lands, it will be available to every player at no additional charge.

The team wrote, “Free Ride mode will be added as a free update for all players in the coming months.” They continued, “We’re truly humbled by all the support and dedication that defines the Mafia fandom.”

Announcing Free Ride as the first post launch beat, the team reiterated that more information is coming. “We’ll have more details to share at a later date,” the message reads.
