The publisher announced on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend that Mirage will be coming to Steam later this month to coincide with its first anniversary on October 5. The store page is now live, and you can wishlist it ahead of launch.

Ubisoft recently announced big changes to how it publishes and release its games, and now a new report reveals more may be coming to the company. According to Bloomberg, those familiar with the situation have said Tencent, the Guillemot family, who founded Ubisoft, and other minority shareholders are looking into a buyout to take the company private.

Tencent already has a 9.2% stake in the video game publisher, while the Guillemot family has about 20.5%. The report does note that these talks are in the early stages, and since this is all information through sources, it might not happen at all.
