Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a throwback for the series, with a more compact design than the sprawling RPGs of the last few entries. After a lengthy demo, The Escapist’s Michael Cripe walked away thinking that could be a very good thing, and it’s impossible to dispute that the game’s rendition of ancient Baghdad looks stunning in action. Of course, you’ll be fine if you’re planning to play it on one of the current or last-gen consoles (bar the Switch), but PC is always a sketchier proposition. As you’d expect, the PC requirements for Assassin’s Creed Mirage are a little heavier than Valhalla, but not unreasonably so, so let’s take a look.

What PC Specs Do You Need To Play AC Mirage
One of the biggest reliefs in the specifications is the relatively light storage requirements. At 40GB, it’s a fraction of what Valhalla demanded, and less even than Assassin’s Creed III Remastered. However, that comes with the trade-off that an SSD is required this time around. As for everything else:

It should also be noted that one of the requirements to run Assassin’s Creed Mirage is that your PC is using Windows 10 or 11, so Mac and Linux users are out in the cold for the time being. On the other hand, it will be natively playable on the iPhone 15 Pro at some point next year. And if you want to know more, make sure to take a look through our full coverage.
