Preloading titles on a console is a well-established feature that allows players to download a game before its official launch. This means that when a game like Assassin's Creed Mirage is released today, players can start playing immediately once it is unlocked, saving them the time of having to download it.
In contrast to newer Assassin's Creed games, Assassin's Creed Mirage returns to its origins by focusing on the game's original mechanics and reducing the role-playing elements. It tells the story of Basim, a street thief, and transports players back to 9th-century Baghdad. PlayStation users who have pre-ordered the game can now download Assassin's Creed Mirage in advance of its release.
