New Xbox games launching this week, from August 4 through August 10 — Mafia: The Old Country launches at $50
Head back to Sicily in Mafia: The Old Country, which leads the latest wave of games launching on the Xbox store.

As usual, we've got another wave of games launching on the Xbox Store this week, giving players more to buy and play across Xbox consoles and PC alike.
The standout title this week is Mafia: The Old Country, Hangar 13 and 2K Games' latest entry in the crime family franchise. As the name implies, it's a prequel, taking place back in Sicily and showing this mob family's origins.
Notably, Mafia: The Old Country isn't a full-priced game, and will be available at launch at just $50. Several of this year's biggest titles so far have been similarly discounted by comparison to the $70 price points of most high-end titles, and it'll be interesting to see how players respond to this lower-than-expected pricing.
