AC Mirage\u2019s Xbox store page once more raises concerns about \u201creal gambling\u201d UbisoftThe Xbox store page for AC Mirage once again features a \u201creal gambling\u201d tag, though a similar listing was removed several months ago. Following the 2022 Ubisoft Forward event that unveiled Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, the game received its official Xbox store listing. All seemed well and good until people noticed the age rating marked AO for \u201cAdults Only.\u201d The rating, specifically, appeared because of a \u201creal gambling\u201d tag. Ubisoft promptly responded, noting that store pages with the AO ESRB label were false \u2013 for one, the title hadn\u2019t yet garnered a rating. The publisher additionally insisted \u201cthat no real gambling or lootboxes are present in the game.\u201d Xbox updated AC Mirage\u2019s store page as a result. However, the latest update to the listing has fans concerned yet again. \u201cReal gambling\u201d label returns to AC Mirage\u2019s Xbox listing During the recent PlayStation Showcase, Ubisoft announced the long-rumored October 2023 release date for Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage. Of course, the game\u2019s various store pages quickly received an update \u2013 but one player noticed something rather concerning. The US Xbox listing for Mirage once more makes mention of \u201cReal Gambling\/Paid Contests.\u201d Reddit user Assured_Observer shared a screenshot of the page in the following post: While many in the Reddit thread have pointed out that it\u2019s likely a mistake given Ubisoft\u2019s previous statements on the matter, others are using this as an opportunity to warn fans against preordering the new Assassin\u2019s Creed title. Setting aside the gambling concerns, since the game still lacks a rating, many remain skeptical of Ubisoft after the microtransaction drama that plagued AC Odyssey and AC Valhalla. Both games launched with grind-based issues that incentivized in-game purchases, many of which were overly expensive. The hope is that AC Mirage won\u2019t make the same mistakes, especially if Ubisoft is serious about leaving lootboxes out of the equation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
