Assassin’s Creed Mirage on PC is playable, but still quite disappointing when considering the passable visuals and uneven performance.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is out tomorrow on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. The game marks Ubisoft’s return to the series’ roots at the request of a sizable portion of the fanbase. Whereas Assassin’s Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla were more akin to open world action roleplaying games, this is meant to be a much smaller stealth-focused game.
For our full review on the game, check out Nathan’s article. Here, I’ll focus on the PC performance. Let’s begin with the system requirements, confirmed just two weeks ago. According to Ubisoft, the following configuration should be able to play at 4K with Ultra settings and 60 frames per second:
CPU: Intel Core i5-11600K/AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 3080 10GB/AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB
RAM: 16GB (dual-channel mode)
OS: Windows 10/11
Storage: SSD with at least 40 GB of free space
My test configuration is massively more powerful:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
RAM: 32GB DDR5
OS: Windows 11
Storage: WD_BLACK SN850 NvME SSD
Assassin’s Creed Mirage features a built-in benchmark tool, just like most of Ubisoft’s recent PC releases, which is commendable.
