Assassin’s Creed Mirage looks amazing – but players are just realising it’s not releasing on Steam

ASSASSIN’S Creed Mirage received an all-new trailer at the PlayStation Showcase.

New footage showed never before seen gameplay, the new setting, and gave us a release date.

Coming out on October 12, 2023, fans are excited to get their hands on the upcoming game this year.

However, the latest Assassin’s Creed – the first since 2020 – won’t be releasing on all current platforms.

Players were expecting it to not be released on Xbox One and PS4, as it is a very hardware-intensive game.

The beautiful scenery and fast-paced gameplay shown in the new trailer would likely not run well on last-gen consoles.

However, as it was announced that Mirage would be coming to PC, fans were excited to play it via Steam.

Steam has some advantages over other PC platforms, as you would be able to play Mirage portably using a Steam Deck.

Despite what people were expecting, Steam seems to be the only PC platform that will be missing.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is still available for PC via the Epic Games Store, and the Ubisoft Store.

Ubisoft’s own PC platform, Ubisoft Connect, allows you to purchase and download games for Windows through the Ubisoft Store.

While these were expected platforms, people still found it strange that players wouldn’t be able to purchase the upcoming game via Steam.

In particular, Ubisoft has been criticised for launching Mirage on Amazon Luna, while still forgoing PC’s most popular storefront.

Amazon Luna is a cloud-based gaming platform that can be used with Smart TVs or PCs.

Luna is a far less popular gaming platform, as there are still issues with cloud only gaming.

Competitor Google Stadia closed down this year due to lack of popularity in cloud gaming.

It seems unlikely that Mirage will be released on Steam at a later date, but fans still hold out hope.
