The next game of the Assassin’s Creed franchise is getting released on October 12, 2023. Assassin’s Creed Mirage will have three different editions for Xbox Series S/X, PS4/PS5, and PC.
All editions offer different things that may be appealing (or not) for all types of fans, from casual players to hardcore fans of the games. This guide will tell you what are the differences between each one of them and hopefully help you decide which one is the best option for you.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Standard Edition
The Standard Edition is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. It is available in both physical and digital formats for Xbox and PlayStation and digital for PC. Please note that this edition only includes the base game, there’s no additional content of any kind.
You can purchase it directly from the Ubisoft Store, Amazon, or a physical store like. Its retail price is $49.99.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe Edition is also available on all three platforms – PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. You can purchase it in both physical and digital formats for Xbox and PS5 and digital for PC. Its retail price is $59.99.
The Deluxe Edition of Assassin’s Creed Mirage includes the following items:
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage (base game)
- Downloadable Deluxe Pack inspired by Prince of Persia
- Digital Artbook
- Digital Soundtrack
The Deluxe Pack includes an Outfit for Basim, a mount and an eagle skin as well as Weapons, “and more”. Ubisoft made a note about the Deluxe Pack that this offer is “subject to change”.
If they alter the Deluxe Pack’s contents or anything, we will update the guide. It is highly unlikely that they will take away from the already announced contents of this pack. They may, however, add more items. Or… this asterisk acts as a generic “fail-safe” mechanism for them.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage Collector’s Case
The Assassin’s Creed Mirage Collector’s Case is only available in physical format for Xbox and PlayStation (Only PS5).
This edition includes collectible items which are usually made in very limited quantities. The Assassin’s Creed Mirage Collector’s Case retails for $149.99 and includes the following items:
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage (base game)
- Basim’s Brooch
- Basim Figurine
- Baghdad Map
- Collector’s Box
- Downloadable deluxe Pack inspired by Prince of Persia
- Digital Artbook
- Digital Soundtrack
- Mini-Artbook
- Steelbook
Which edition should you buy
Sometimes it’s hard to decide which edition of a new game to get, especially when they are very similar but I don’t think this is the case for Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
The Standard Edition just includes the base game. If you are a casual player or simply want to try this game without spending too much this is the perfect option.
Fans who really like the franchise or want to get more than just the base game are probably going to be happy with the deluxe edition that includes downloadable content and bonus digital content. When it comes to getting the best value for your money, I think this is the best choice.
The Collector’s Case is for fans that really love the Assassin’s Creed series or anyone that likes getting the best edition of a game. The Baghdad map and Basim Figurine are one-of-a-kind items that you’ll probably never have a second chance to get unless you want to pay more than their retail price.
These editions are relatively simple to what other games offer but this is also reflected in the price. Personally, I prefer it this way. Two not-so-expensive editions for the majority of the fans and one that’s triple the price of the standard one but that comes with very cool items that only a smaller portion of the player base will appreciate or care about.
