Highlights

  • Assassin's Creed Mirage update 1.0.8 is scheduled for release on April 9.
  • The update, ranging from 1.89 GB to 5.31 GB, focuses on enhancing existing game features rather than introducing new ones.
  • Improvements in the Full Synchronization Challenge, the game's permadeath mode, are a key highlight of the patch.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is gearing up for the launch of update 1.0.8 on Tuesday, April 9, at 4am PT / 7am ET / 1pm CET. This forthcoming patch aims to address various quest bugs and performance issues in Assassin's Creed Mirage, along with other modifications.

Following its positive reception upon its debut in early October 2023, the game has received four updates from Ubisoft Bordeaux, with the most recent being Assassin's Creed Mirage update 1.0.7, which introduced the permadeath mode.

The upcoming 1.0.8 update, while not as extensive as previous releases, is crucial for refining the game's current features rather than adding new content. However, don't be misled by its size, which can range from 1.89 GB to 5.31 GB depending on the platform, similar to previous patches.

Sizes of Assassin's Creed Mirage Update 1.0.8 Patches

  • Xbox Series X/S: ~4.55 GB
  • Xbox One: ~3.15 GB
  • PlayStation5: ~1.89 GB
  • PlayStation4: ~5.31 GB
  • PC: ~3.34 GB

The upcoming changes in the next Assassin's Creed Mirage update are primarily directed at enhancing the Full Synchronization Challenge, the game's permadeath mode. For instance, the default setting for this mode in new game starts will be off, reducing the chances of accidental activation by players. Several UI issues specific to the Full Synchronization Challenge have been fixed, including inaccuracies in kill and conflict counts after completing a permadeath run.

This update also tackles a loading menu glitch that sometimes caused save files to display incorrectly during a Full Synchronization Challenge. Additionally, the PC version will now correctly recognize the PS5 DualSense Edge controller post-update. Text adjustments in menus, along with various undisclosed stability enhancements across all platforms, are also part of the update package.

One notable fix in the new patch relates to Light Blade, a throwing knife upgrade in Assassin's Creed Mirage. Previously, equipping this tool could cause the aiming reticle to behave erratically, locking onto targets without player input. Furthermore, using Light Blade could unintentionally trigger a knife throw charge instead of a quick throw. Both issues are addressed in update 1.0.8, which also promises to resolve several quest-related problems.
