Assassin's Creed Mirage free download available now, makes some welcome changes

It doesn't matter how good a video game may or may not be, post-launch fixes are often required to correct unforeseen issues or add new content, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage is no exception.

Released in 2023 and developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, Assassin’s Creed Mirage attempts to take the series back to its 2007 roots taking away a huge open-world and having more of an emphasis on stealth. Furthermore, Assassin’s Creed Mirage was originally intended to be an expansion to 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla before it evolved into its own standalone game.

In our review of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, we said: “is a glorious return to form for the series, and I had a joyous time playing through it. It’s great to see the series shift its focus back to stealth and a compelling narrative about the Order of Assassins, and I sincerely hope Ubisoft treat Mirage as the new baseline going forward, whilst still evolving the series further.”

This week, Ubisoft has deployed the latest title update for Assassin’s Creed Mirage and it’s available for you to download for free right now and with it comes some welcomed changes. Update 1.0.8 weighs in between 1.89GB and 5.31GB, depending on the platform.

The update fixes several reported bugs such as the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller being properly detected on PC, corrects an issue related to saves not appearing in the loading menu as intended when playing the ‘Full Synchronization’ challenge as well as other issues related to this mode and more. The update of course makes stability improvements too.

Just a heads-up, the patch notes do include some story spoilers, so please be warned. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. As for what the future may hold, the codenamed Assassin’s Creed Red is expected to be released this year.
