Mafia II: Definitive Edition was released May 19, 2020 on Steam and contains all the DLC from Mafia II. Previous owners of Mafia II on Steam were automatically given this version for free, and the original Mafia II was renamed Mafia II (Classic) in the Steam Library.
Compared to the original, the game lacks support for Windows 7[1] and Windows XP (though workaround exist for Windows 7).

Issues unresolved
APEX PhysX cannot be disabled
- Unlike the original release, the game has no settings for its APEX PhysX implementation, instead simply forcing it to be enabled. Although there is a setting for it in the settings.xml file, changing the value has no impact.[9]
- Due to PhysX not supporting AMD GPUs, this significantly impacts performance when playing the game with one.
FOV changes after loading
- Gameplay FOV may change after loading from a checkpoint or restarting the game and loading into a mission.[10]

- "People in other threads have suggested changing the value of "apex" in the game's settings.xml, but opening the benchmark shows that it does not work for me (I have tried setting it to 0, 1, 2, 3, 9999, all of them had PhysX activated, as can be seen here: [[1]])""

- Started Joe's Adventures and took a screenshot of the first scene past the cutscene, clicked on Load last checkpoint from the menu, which resulted in a significant FOV decrease, persisting even after using the wardrobe, until leaving the building. Restarting the game and clicking Continue resulted in increased FOV at the same starting point. Additionally confirmed by mastan on Discord.
