Assassin’s Creed Mirage is being viewed as a reboot of sorts for Ubisoft’s famous franchise. While the development team is ringing various changes, are they steering away from microtransactions?

Does Assassin’s Creed Mirage have microtransactions?

Assassin’s Creed Mirage does have microtransactions.

Ubisoft has made it very clear though that any extras pertaining to microtransactions are purely cosmetic only. In previous games, players have had the option to influence their gameplay by buying XP boosters and various other tidbits of this nature.

The devs actually addressed this topic in a statement to TrueAchievements prior to the game’s launch: “Assassin’s Creed Mirage will feature some cosmetic bundles that will be purchasable directly on first-party stores at launch. These will be optional and have no impact on player progression.”

So, you can enjoy a complete Assassin’s Creed Mirage journey devoid of microtransactions if you desire. Understandably, Ubisoft makes a fair bit of extra money on the side through this, so it’s not a surprise to see them carry on using them.
