Assassin's Creed Mirage Has Very Forgiving PC Requirements

You won't need futuristic tech to head back to ancient Baghdad, as according to the official PC requirements for Assassin's Creed Mirage, this trip back in time has modest requirements. A back-to-basics Assassin's Creed game, Mirage will be playable on low-end gaming machines when it launches in October.

This is all entirely dependent on how well the game is optimized, but if you're equipped with a GeForce 10-series GPU and a moderate amount of RAM, you'll still be able to experience the game in 1080p and at 30fps. The modern requirement here, even at the minimum base level, is an SSD and 40GB of available storage capacity to run the game in an unrestricted state. Ubisoft estimates that the game is around three times shorter than Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which is why the storage requirements are much smaller.

If you're looking to play Assassin's Creed Mirage at 1080p and at 60fps, the requirements don't jump up too drastically here. An Nvidia 1660 Ti with 6GB of VRAM--or an AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT equivalent--will double the rendered frames, but you will need to have at least 16GB of RAM installed. On the "Enthusiast" settings, Ubisoft recommends a 20-series Nvidia GPU and a more powerful CPU for a 1440p 60fps version of the game running on high presets, while stepping up to the ultra plate to get the game running at 4K and 60fps will require a 30-series Nvidia GPU and a beefier CPU.

Compared to other modern games that demand more expensive and powerful PC gaming hardware, Assassin's Creed Mirage isn't too demanding. The game will also feature several fancy extras, like an uncapped frame rate, HDR, and Intel's AI-assisted XeSS Super Sampling during Basim's journey to become a Hidden One and discover the truth of the world. If you're looking for a haptic feedback accessory that gives you a vague idea of what it's like to get poked in the chest with sharpened weapons, you'll need to fork over extra for that vest.

Assassin's Creed Mirage officially launches on October 5 and will also be available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
