Assassin’s Creed games return to Steam this month, starting with Mirage
Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be the first Assassin’s Creed game arrives on Steam, marking a return to the platform for the series.
In September, Ubisoft postponed Assassin’s Creed Shadows from its original release date of November 12 to February 14, 2025, announcing that the game will need additional time to polish before it is ready for launch.
In addition to the delay, the company confirmed that, unlike more recently Assassin’s Creed games, Shadows will also launch day one on Steam PS5, Xbox SeriesXbox Series S and Amazon Luna.
However, it won’t be the first title in the franchise to return to Steam.
According to a brand new Steam store page for Assassin’s Creed Miragefans will be able to purchase the game on the platform in “October 2024”, so it looks like an official release date announcement from Ubisoft itself will be coming soon.
“Experience the story of Basim, a cunning street thief who searches for answers and justice as he navigates the busy streets of ninth-century Baghdad,” the description reads. “Through a mysterious ancient organization known as the Hidden Ones, he will become a deadly Master Assassin and change his destiny in ways he never imagined.”
While there’s no release yet, you can wishlist the game on Steam.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage first launched in October 2023 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games and Ubisoft Connect.
Ubisoft stopped releasing its PC games on Steam in 2019 after releasing its own launcher, but has not given a reason for the decision. However, it could come down to the need to increase overall sales after Star Wars Outlaws performed poorly for the company.
