After the drama and negative press surrounding the recent Assassin’s Creed Shadows delay, fans of the franchise might be happy to hear that, after more than a year on other platforms, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has finally received a PC release date. Additionally, Ubisoft guarantees that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be playable on the Steam Deck at launch, even though it won’t ship with the “Playable” logo.
According to the announcement, Assassin’s Creed Mirage will launch on Steam on October 17, 2024. When the game launches on Steam, it will feature 50 in-game achievements that will “range from completing missions or ranking up, to performing specific actions.” Despite having Steam achievements and Steam Deck compatibility at launch, AC Mirage players will still have to install UbiConnect, Ubisoft’s first-party game store and launcher—a move that’s unlikely to sit well with many gamers.
