Using a slightly older gaming PC? It’s likely you’ll be able to run Assassin’s Creed Mirage, as the system requirements have just been released, and it’s good news for most people. The minimum requirements are lower than expected, with the GPU requirement starting with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, and CPUs starting with the Intel Core i7-4790K.
Ubisoft has split the system requirements into four distinct categories, with rising power needs for each: Minimum, recommended, enthusiast, and ultra. They are as follows.
Minimum (1080p and 30 frames-per-second, low presets):
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K (Intel Core i5-8400 for Intel Arc with ReBAR) or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
- GPU: Intel Arc A380 6GB / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB
- RAM: 8GB (dual-channel mode)
- OS: Windows 10/11
- SSD Storage: 40 GB
Recommended (1080p and 60 frames-per-second, high presets)
- CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- GPU: Intel Arc A750 8GB or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB
- RAM: 16GB (dual-channel mode)
- OS: Windows 10/11
- SSD Storage: 40 GB
Enthusiast (1440p and 60 frames-per-second, high presets)

Ultra (2160p and 60 frames-per-second, ultra presets)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-11600K/AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 3080 10GB/AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB

Assassin’s Creed Mirage launches on October 12, and prices will start from $50. Fans of shorter games are already eagerly awaiting this game, as it’s been confirmed the main campaign will last around 20 to 30 hours, far from the massive open world Assassin’s Creed games seen more recently. The lower specification requirements also mean it’s likely to be a hit with those who don’t upgrade their gaming PCs every year. Likelihood is, if you’ve upgraded your PC in the last five years, you’re going to be able to dive into the latest Assassin’s Creed game.
