Assassin’s Creed Mirage launched on PC and consoles last year and is coming to iOS this summer. The action-adventure game launches on iPad and iPhone on June 6, and users can pre-register now. However, not every iOS device will be able to run it.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage comes to iPhone and iPad on June 6
As Digital Trends reported, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a full console game, so not every iOS device can run it. Specifically, players will need an iPhone with an Apple A17 Pro chip or an iPad with an Apple A1 chip. This limits it to the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Ubisoft also recommends players use a controller for the best experience, though one is not required. The first 90 minutes are free to play after downloading it from the App Store, with the rest of the game costing $50.
Set in 9th century Baghdad, Assassin’s Creed Mirage follows protagonist Basim in his quest to prevent the Order of the Ancients from acquiring artifacts of great power. It’s something of a back-to-basics for the series, with a smaller open world and no RPG mechanics. However, the game saw only mixed reviews, with some critics criticizing the shallow story, gameplay, and word design. The Xbox Series X/S version averaged 77 on Metacritic, with the PC and PS5 versions averaging 76.
Still, the game is not without fans, and it’s the first full AAA Assassin’s Creed game on iOS. This puts it in a small club of recent AAA console games on iPhone. Other notable members include Resident Evil: Village, the RE4 Remake, and Death Stranding: Director’s Cut.
