If you're old enough to remember flip phones, there are probably a few that stand out in your mind. The Motorola Razr, the Nokia 3310, and the Samsung SGH-E700 are three such examples, and that last one is coming back—in the form of an updated Galaxy Z Flip 5.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the “biggest new gen launch” for Ubisoft yet
12.10.2023 - 15:13 / destructoid.com / New / Ubisoft
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is now the biggest new-gen launch for Ubisoft, according to the official Assassin’s Creed X account on Wednesday. The French publisher shared its Assassin’s Creed Mirage sales news, noting figures include PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Ubisoft also provided some fun stats about our playtime.
Thank you all for joining us on Basim's journey in 9th Century Baghdad!
We are thrilled by the response from the community and for embracing our homage to the roots of the AC franchise. #AssassinsCreed pic.twitter.com/KnL2YxGION
“We are proud to [..] share that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the biggest New Gen launch in terms of units sales to date at Ubisoft (PS5, Xbox Series X-S),” said Ubisoft in a social media post thanking its audience. “A big congratulations to the Bordeaux Studio and all its partners in the project for this accomplishment.”
Ubisoft did not give specific numbers as to how Assassin’s Creed Mirage has sold. However, we now know it has initially sold better in its first week than the likes of Watch Dogs: Legion, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Immortals: Fenyx Rising.
Some of the stats celebrated the occasion are kind of fun, too. So far, players have spent 479 collective years parkouring the rooftops of Baghdad. Assassins also took 60 million Leaps of Faith. Then there’s the most important, we’ve pet 1.2 million street cats.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a stroll away from the massive open-world formula of recent titles like Valhalla and Odyssey. It’s in a smaller space in Baghdad with a focus on the core stealth gameplay. Perhaps this approach appeals to lapsed fans of the series. It is also at a cheaper price point of $49.99.
“For the most part, Mirage achieves its goal of returning to its assassin ways,” says our review. “But in some ways, it also shows me why Ubisoft made the decision to take the franchise in a new direction in the first place.”

Invincible season 2, Gen V finale, Netflix’s Blue Eye Samurai, and more new TV this week
It’s not an official theme or anything, but this week’s TV is all about fighting. There’s the two sides of superhero coming-of-age stories on Prime Video alone: the season finale of Gen V and the season premiere of Invincible. Over on Netflix there’s Blue Eye Samurai, a new show about one woman’s quest for revenge in Edo-era Japan, while on Paramount Plus the new Taylor Sheridan-produced show about Bass Reeves (David Oyelowo) is sure to bring on some Wild West violence. Throw in Love Island Games, and it seems like no matter which platform you turn to, you’re gonna get some clashes.

Assassin's Creed Mirage hit PlayStation, Xbox, and PC last week and both critics and fans alike are quite happy with the series return to its roots. Unlike Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, in which Basim is featured, Mirage is a smaller, more condensed adventure, unlike the prior open-world RPGs. Now, roughly a week later, Ubisoft has revealed that Mirage's player count is in line with Origins and Odyssey. Plus, Mirage is Ubisoft's biggest new-gen launch in terms of sales.
