Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Mirage, last year’s foray that took the series back to its stealth-focused roots, is now available as a free trial for curious players to check out between now and April 30th (May 1st AEST).
The trial is available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC and will allow players to check out two hours of the game. If you decide you like what you’ve played, you can opt to purchase the full game and keep the progress made in the trial, even across multiple platforms. There are no restrictions to what you can do in that two hours of gameplay time either, so if for some reason you’ve previously completed the game on Xbox and you want to trial it on PS5 with a New Game+, Ubisoft says you can do that.
You can find the free trial for Assassin’s Creed Mirage on the below digital storefronts:
The trial comes alongside a new update for the game as well, and both are covered off in the trailer below:
If you’re yet to check out Mirage, we reckon it’s worth your time. We gave it an 8/10 in our review, with James saying, “Assassin’s Creed Mirage makes great effort to simplify the Assassin’s Creed formula back to what it was when it first found popularity. The solid stealth mechanics lend themselves well to creating satisfying infiltrations and the open-ended assassinations are some of the series most engaging contracts. It’s just a shame that in scaling so much back, the optional content is lacking and the story ultimately goes nowhere. Still, if you’re here for an experience akin to the original Assassin’s Creed, you’ll find little wrong with Mirage. It’s an endearing callback to what made us fall in love with the franchise over a decade ago, for better or for worse.”
