Assassin's Creed Mirage is set to launch on October 5th, and Ubisoft has unveiled the system requirements for the game ahead of its release. Unlike many other high-end PC games, this ninth-century Baghdad-themed title seems to be quite forgiving when it comes to hardware demands, harkening back to the previous generation of graphics technology. You won't need AMD's latest 7000 series or Nvidia's 40 series graphics cards to play the game on Ultra settings. Interestingly, the game's official partner for PC is Intel, which suggests optimization for Arc GPUs and 13th-Gen processors, though this choice may raise eyebrows among the PC gaming community.
This partnership also brings support for Intel's AI-powered XeSS upscaling method, promising higher frame rates without significant sacrifices in visual quality. Although the trailer didn't mention other upscaling technologies, the official blog post clarifies that players can also utilize Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FSR to enhance their gaming experience. Assassin's Creed Mirage boldly offers uncapped frame rates at 4K resolution, which is noteworthy given recent poorly optimized PC ports. Other notable features include support for widescreen and multi-monitor displays, an in-game benchmark for performance assessment, and hybrid input that allows simultaneous use of a keyboard, mouse, controller, or other input devices.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is a return to the series' original focus on stealth-based gameplay after years of exploring open-world RPG settings. In this game, you take on the role of Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character from Assassin's Creed Valhalla, as he rises through the ranks of the Hidden Ones' order, evolving from a pickpocket into a feared assassin. The game is priced at $49.99 on PC and Rs. 3,499 on consoles, making it more affordable. Pre-orders include access to a bonus quest called "The Forty Thieves," which seems to reference the classic Arabian folktale "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." Additionally, the game can be played on Ubisoft's gaming subscription service, Ubisoft+, on the day of release.
