Assassin’s Creed Mirage is gearing up to release this week, and ahead of that, we have received the global launch times for the same. Ubisoft tweeted an infographic listing different time zones that point to a staggered release, meaning the game unlocks at different times across the world. On console, the 9th century title set in Baghdad goes live on October 5th at midnight local time, meaning more impatient players can try changing their system location to New Zealand to give it a try to enter earlier. So far, the release schedule is straightforward, with preload already available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. However, unlocking PC is a bit confusing, with some regions having a head start of up to a day.
India is not mentioned in the infographic, but we can assume that the PC version will launch after October 5 at midnight. We have the Abu Dhabi unlock time for reference which is 3am GST which is 4:30am IST in India. Keep in mind that the PC port is only accessible via the Ubisoft Connect app and Epic Games Store, with Assassin’s Creed Mirage launching on the latter platform at 4 p.m. UTC on October 5, which corresponds to 9:30 p.m. India.
PC gamers in Los Angeles, USA will be able to start playing on October 4 at 10 p.m. PDT, while those on the East Coast in New York will begin their journey on October 5 at 1 a.m. EDT. Montreal, Canada follows the same time zone as the latter, while players in London can access it on October 5 at midnight BST – in tandem with their console release. Meanwhile, Tokyo, Japan’s PC launch is scheduled for October 4 at 10:00 p.m. JST and Sydney, Australia is among the first regions to launch on October 5 at 12:00 a.m. AEDT. All other global launch times for Assassin’s Creed Mirage on PC and console are listed below.

Last month, Ubisoft revealed the system requirements for Assassin’s Creed Mirage, showing that running the game at Ultra settings does not require the latest AMD 7000 card or Nvidia’s 40 series. At the time, Intel was confirmed as an official partner of the game, itself optimized for its Arc series graphics cards, a GPU brand not very popular in the PC gaming community. After dabbling a bit in the realm of open-world RPGs, Assassin’s Creed Mirage takes a back-to-basics approach, with a narrower scope and emphasis on nifty stealth assassinations, charting the rise of Basim Ibn Ishaq, from a simple thief. to a feared killer.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be released on October 5 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X. An Apple iOS version is also planned for early 2024.
