Get Ready for a Mirage: Assassin's Creed Joins Ubisoft+ on Launch Day

Ubisoft has revealed that the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed Mirage will be available on its subscription service from day one, in addition to its PC and console releases. This announcement comes at a time when excitement for the franchise is at an all-time high, particularly following the recent release of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed gameplay trailer.

Over the past few years, the Assassin's Creed franchise has undergone a number of significant changes, including a shift to RPG gameplay that has divided players. While some have criticized this move, it has proven to be successful for Ubisoft, with Assassin's Creed Valhalla becoming the company's first title to generate $1 billion in revenue. Despite this, Ubisoft has promised to return to the look and feel of the franchise's earlier games in upcoming titles, and it appears that they are delivering on this promise with Assassin's Creed Mirage.

With anticipation for the game continuing to build, Ubisoft is taking advantage of the hype by making it available on their subscription service. This move is sure to please fans who are eager to experience the latest installment in the franchise as soon as possible.

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin's Creed Mirage will be available on Ubisoft+ on its release day, allowing for access on both PC and Xbox. This move is part of Ubisoft's growing collaboration with Microsoft, as the former has already made titles such as Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey available on Game Pass. Ubisoft has also launched its own subscription service, Ubisoft+, on Xbox, offering 65 titles through its Multi-Access plan. With the release of Assassin's Creed Mirage on Ubisoft+, Ubisoft hopes to boost the appeal of its subscription service. Although the game will also be available on the Epic Games Store, it will not be released on Steam initially. However, it remains uncertain whether Ubisoft plans to release the game on Steam in the future. Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely that Ubisoft will completely exclude Steam, as its previous Assassin's Creed title was made available on the platform.

With a less than stellar 2022 under its belt, it's no surprise that Ubisoft is placing a heavy focus on its beloved Assassin's Creed franchise. In fact, the company is investing in expanding the team dedicated to the franchise and prioritizing multiple projects on its roadmap. As we wait to see what the future holds for both Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed, it's clear that the company sees the potential for growth through Ubisoft+. As evidence of this, the upcoming release of Assassin's Creed Mirage on October 12 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S is highly anticipated by fans of the franchise.
