Mafia 3 has arrived worldwide on all three major platforms PC, PS4 and Xbox One. As expected Mafia 3 PC port launch is not as smooth as expected and players are reporting a wide range of issues.
- Mafia 3: How to Unlock the 30FPS Cap and Get Unlimited FPS. Is to download the game’s latest patch. This patch, 1.01, is more a hotfix than anything, but it allows players to aptly choose.
- By Saturday the patch was already in testing, and yesterday made its way to Steam’s server for all players to download. Mafia 3 players on PC will now be able to choose between 30, 60 and Unlimited framerate locks, bringing the game on par with what a PC release should have.
Mafia 3 is not the experience your enormously powerful gaming PC deserves – but that may change.
Mafia 3 is locked to a framerate of 30FPS on PC, which is not something the Master Race considers acceptable when their machines are more than capable of hitting 60 FPS or even much, much higher.
Developer Hangar Games has acknowledged the disappointment and said it’s working on a patch for Mafia 3 which will address this very issue.
“We are currently working on an update for PC that will give players the option to play Mafia III at higher framerates. We’ll share more details about the update, and when you can expect it to arrive, very soon,” a post on the Mafia 3 website reads.
As for why Mafia 3 didn’t ship with an unlocked frame rate, the post said the developer’s first goal was to ensure Mafia 3’s performance was “consistent across all platforms”. Now that PC, PS4 and Xbox One are all hitting a solid 30 FPS, the team can give the PC version the love it deserves.

To this end, the Mafia 3 team is actively seeking feedback on what features PC players would like to see added to Mafia 3 in terms of gaining “more control over how they can tailor the game’s experience to suit their rig’s performance”, so that’s nice. Go tell ’em.
Mafia 3 players on PC may not have to wait long to play the game in frame-rates higher than 30.
Mafia 3 went live on PC overnight. A couple of hours before people started playing, developer Hangar 13 released a statement confirming that the PC version is locked to 30fps.
Naturally, not many were thrilled with this news. In the statement, the studio said it’s working on a patch that’ll enable the game to run at frame-rates higher than 30, and promised to share more news when it’s available.
