Preloading titles on a console is a feature that has been around for quite some time now. It enables players to download a title before it launches officially. However, the particular game can only be launched at the time of its local release. So, one can save the download time once Assassin's Creed Mirage comes out today and start playing as soon as it gets unlocked.
Unlike the modern Assassin's Creed titles, Assassin's Creed Mirage goes back to its roots, implementing the game's original mechanics and removing most of the role-playing elements. It follows the story of Basim, a street thief, and takes players back to 9th-century Baghdad. PlayStation users who have the title pre-ordered can now download Assassin's Creed Mirage ahead of its release.

How To Preload Assassin's Creed Mirage on PS5
Players that have Assassin's Creed Mirage preordered on PlayStation 5 can head to the PlayStation Store and download the title from its respective page. Others would have to make the payment and have it in their library to be able to use the preload feature.
Here's how to preload Assassin's Creed Mirage on PlayStation 5 by following a few easy steps:
- Go to the PlayStation Store
- Search for Assassin's Creed Mirage
- Open the title's respective PlayStation Store page
