Assassin's Creed: Mirage Release Update - Not on Steam, Ubisoft Confirms

The forthcoming Assassin's Creed: Mirage will not be released on Steam when it does in October, according to Ubisoft.

An update states that Assassin's Creed: Mirage will not be available on Steam. It's regrettable that the game won't be released in 2023 because it's one of the most anticipated Ubisoft titles of that year.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage claims to be more like the original games after a few more RPG-focused releases. The game, which is set in Baghdad and stars the assassin Basim, will take the series back to its roots by emphasising stealth and parkour once again. Mirage is anticipated to be quite popular with fans of the original Assassin's Creed gameplay.

Sadly, Assassin's Creed: Mirage won't be available to PC users who only utilise Steam at launch. Players will only be able to get Assassin's Creed: Mirage through the official Ubisoft Store or the Epic Games Store in addition to the console release. It's possible that the game will eventually appear on Steam even though Ubisoft hasn't said whether it will or won't do so at a later time.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage comes after a relatively bad fiscal year for Ubisoft in 2022, when the firm reported an 18% decline in sales over the previous year. Its sales decreased from $2.31 billion to $1.97 billion in a single year. since a result, the game's release will be a significant milestone for the firm. Paid exclusivity for the Epic Games Store may have something to do with this, since the game will undoubtedly sell far less on PC as a result of not being accessible on the most popular platform.

A new trailer for Assassin's Creed: Mirage was released recently, and it included frantic action, multiple stealth sequences, and a setting that strongly resembled the previous game in the series in the Middle Eastern metropolis of Baghdad. It will be interesting to see if the game can satisfy both the expectations of both the new crowd, who have only played the latter games, and the traditional fans who played the first Assassin's Creed and desire the classic experience.

Starting on October 12, Assassin's Creed: Mirage will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
