A new AC Mirage graphical showcase has been released, showing Ubisoft’s latest Assassin’s Creed entry running on PC in 8K without Chromatic Aberration.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is out now on PC and consoles, and fans of the franchise have been discussing the game’s visuals. In our analysis article, we also mentioned the game’s graphics, saying that Mirage might not look as good as Valhalla and Odyssey did. In our launch review, Nathan also talked about Mirage’s visuals: “While Mirage’s Baghdad is well designed, don’t expect it to wow visually, at least on a technical level”, he wrote. “Nothing is very reactive — fabrics and other materials don’t animate, and while lighting looks nice in certain key areas, it isn’t very dynamic. The main characters look passable, albeit several years behind the curve, but some NPCs appear to be refugees from the Xbox 360 era.”
So, we aren’t looking at the best-looking Assassin’s Creed title here. Some of this could be related to characters appearing blurry due to the aggressive use of chromatic aberration. Well, German YouTuber ‘Digital Dreams’ managed to remove chromatic aberration, and as can be seen in his new showcase video, the results are pretty great. The showcase has Mirage running in 8K resolution at 60FPS with the artist’s iconic ‘Beyond All Limits’ ReShade Ray Tracing preset. In order to remove chromatic aberration from the game, the YouTuber used a cheat table from known modder Otis_inf. It’s likely that the tool was soon be released on the modder’s Patreon page.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is available worldwide now across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Here’s what we wrote about the game’s in our launch review:
“Assassin’s Creed Mirage doesn’t make the sharpest first impression with its dated visuals and by-the-book mechanics, but like its hooded protagonist, the game sneaks up on you with its manageably-sized yet vibrant map, intricately-woven campaign, and varied missions. Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s blade may be slightly tarnished, but it still leaves a mark.”
