Mobile technology has finally caught up with our primary computers and as a result, we now have more power in our palms than before. Be it dealing with your office-focused productivity suite or editing studio-quality videos, there’s a good chance that your smartphone can deal with it without breaking a sweat.
Hence, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Assassin’s Creed Mirage will now be playable on your iPhone and iPad! Yes, you read it right. This is the same Assassin’s Creed Mirage that was released on PC and consoles a few months ago.
After spending more time on the development desk, Ubisoft is ready to release its latest instalment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise on Apple’s mobile platform. Note that this is the same game that you can play on your PS5, PC and Xbox, not a scaled-down mobile port!
The game is now available for pre-order on Apple’s App Store and it will be 6 June when the download button will be live.
Now, there could be two reasons why you would want to play the latest Assassin’s Creed game on your humble iPhone. You must be a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and need your dose of stealthy assassin kills on the move, or the iPhone/iPad is your only device to experience this video game firsthand.

‘Assassin’s Creed Mirage’ on iOS: Everything you need to know
Video games are now a serious affair for Apple, as they are working along with the game studios and developers to utilise the full potential of Apple Silicon chips by directly porting console versions over to iOS. Apple has already worked with a couple of game studios to bring the console versions of AAA video games directly to the iPhone and iPad.
After titles like Resident Evil 4 and Death Stranding, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is now joining this elite list of AAA video games coming to the iPhone and iPad.
In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, you play as Basim, a thief from the streets seeking answers. This narrative-driven action-adventure experience puts players on a transformative journey of Basim into a refined Master Assassin.
Based on what we have seen from the trailer videos and countless critic reviews, Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s gameplay involves a lot of parkour, stealth missions, combats and more while traversing a vintage replica of Baghdad.
Although the video game was originally built for the console controllers and PC keyboards, the mobile adaptation on iPhone and iPad is likely to rely on touch controls as default. There could be a possibility to pair compatible wireless controllers with your device to get the best experience.
