In Mafia 2: Definitive Edition, you can find 50 Playboy magazine spreads. If you find them all, you'll earn the Ladies' Man achievement. At the end of the article, you can find all the Playboy magazine spreads from the game.
Unlike posters, Playboy magazines are tied to specific chapters — this means you cannot go back and find them later. If you miss them, you will have to reload the corresponding chapter, we recommend waiting until you have finished the game (or at least, do not finish any chapter you are currently playing so your last save does not get overwritten.
