Assassin's Creed Mirage, the 13th major installment in Ubisoft's franchise, is nearly upon us.
Mirage will debut on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC on Oct. 5, a full week earlier than originally planned. But these days, it can be tough to figure out what that means exactly in terms of when you'll be able to start playing. Luckily, Ubisoft has detailed the global release times for both PC and console, which vary by an hour or so in most regions.
For the most part, you'll be able to start playing in the wee hours of Friday, Oct. 5, with a few regions getting a jumpstart on PC late on Thursday. Mirage is already available for pre-loading.
You can see the various release times in their graphic, and we've also broken it down below.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is also getting a release on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Max Pro sometime in the first half of 2024, although we're still waiting for an exact release date on that.
In the meantime, Ubisoft is asking fans to not release spoilers as that release date quickly approaches. Mirage follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and has been hailed as a return to the series' roots, with a focus on stealth and linear storytelling.
