Breaking News: Microsoft has expanded its Game Pass library with a wave of new titles arriving throughout August, including the recently released Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The additions cater to a diverse range of gaming preferences, from action RPGs to indie adventures.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage,developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux and released on October 5,2023,is now available for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. However, the game received a lukewarm reception from Alexander Kardelo, editor-in-chief of MovieZine.se, who awarded it a rating of three out of five stars and criticized its lack of innovation, stating “It doesn’t have much new to come with.” The game returns to the series’ roots, focusing on stealth and parkour in 9th-century Baghdad.
