Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to launch tomorrow. As you boot it up for the first time on PC, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, or PlayStation 5 and PS4, you may notice an immediate patch download. You’re probably curious about the details of this day-one patch. Let’s dive into the patch notes.
Ubisoft has now shared patch notes and revealed that there are a lot more changes than it originally planned. Furthermore, it’s currently not possible to view the patch notes on the PlayStation 5, a feature missing from the PlayStation 4, if you were looking for them in the UI.
However, we understand that the day-one patch primarily focuses on a mixture of Gameplay, UI, World map and Quest fixes, along with general performance improvements. It’s the subsequent post-launch patch that is expected to bring more significant changes to the game.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Patch 1.03
Ubisoft intends to roll out a post-launch patch that will include audio modifications to ensure that in-game music does not overlap with the Islamic call to prayer; the music will pause during these moments. Additionally, the patch will address the level of detail issues to prevent visual anomalies upon zoom level adjustments, rectify exploits associated with the final boss fight, and incorporate other improvements.
Here’s the full list of changes planned for the second patch:
- Athan audio adjustments, to ensure no in-game music interferes with the call to prayer.
- LoD fixes (in a broad sense) to avoid abnormal artifacts when changing zoom levels and/or poorly displayed characters/buildings when looking at a distance.
- Bug fixes on the final boss fight (to avoid visual bugs and exploits).
- UI debugging to avoid screen tearing and page transitions.
- Ubisoft are planning to release a toggle to turn off Chromatic Abberation after complaints from the community.
Ubisoft has not disclosed a specific release date through its official channels, only indicating that it will be available shortly after launch. We anticipate its arrival within the next few weeks. Rest assured, we’ll keep watch and let you know of any developments.
