Assassin’s Creed Mirage is Now on Steam

Good news for PC players! They can now experience the story of Basim Ibn Ishaq with Assassin’s Creed Mirage now on Steam.

The game had been released in October 2023 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It was also made available for iOS devices. It has received mainly generally positive reviews with critics citing the world design, focus on stealth, and the return to form of the franchise.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage offers a shorter and more narrative-driven game compared to other recent entries in the series. The game takes players two decades before the events of Assassin's Creed Valhalla. In a post, Ubisoft shared that the game was created as a homage to the first Assassin's Creed games and even pays tribute to the roots of the series. Players get to be part of the proto-Assassin order known as the Hidden Ones and try to grow and become master assassins. It's set in ninth-century Baghdad which, as a bustling metropolis, serves as the perfect dense and urban hunting ground. Indeed, as Basim goes around Baghdad, he'll be able to obtain contracts and updates from the network of Hidden One bureaus across the city.

Technical Features

While the game is indeed available on Steam, players still need to have a Ubisoft Connect account. For those who don’t have one, they can create their own account during the first time they launch the game. Players don’t need to download and install Ubisoft Connect separately since the Steam installation comes with a lightweight version of Ubisoft Connect. Once they’re able to link their Steam account with their Ubisoft Connect account, there won’t be a need to log in to the Ubisoft Connect account on the next game launch.

Those on Steam should be happy to know that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is playable on Steam Deck. For now, it’s currently displayed in the “Unknown category.” The “Playable” Steam Deck label is expected to be available in the next few weeks through a new update.

Right now, Assassin's Creed Mirage is being offered at 50% off on Steam. The same discount applies to the Deluxe Edition and the Master Assassin Edition.
