Assassin's Creed Mirage goes free, but don't be so excited

Assassin’s Creed fans have good news. The 13th main instalment of the series, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, is now free to play, giving both ardent and potential fans to try it out. However, the offer is limited, meaning it will run until April 30. Another caveat is the time limit. During the free trial period, you can play the game for the first two hours for free, after which you can decide if you want access to play the full game.

Ubisoft, the owner of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, said should you decide to purchase the game, all your progress will carry over, making the trial a part of the actual gameplay. While the free trial is available across platforms, the discount on the game is limited to a select platform. The free trial is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect PC.
