Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s update 1.05 finally adds a Chromatic Aberration toggle to the game
Finally! Ubisoft has added a Chromatic Aberration toggle to Assassin’s Creed Mirage
Chromatic aberration is a graphical effect that a lot of gamers hate. The effect mimics camera artifacts that can often be seen in TV shows, movies, and photographs. It can be argued that chromatic aberration can make games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage more filmic. That said, it is an artifact that videographers and photographers often seek to minimise.
At launch, Assassin’s Creed Mirage had chromatic aberration enabled by default, and gamers had no option to disable it. The effect was so strong in the game that several modders had created ways to disable the option on PC. Thankfully, update 1.05 has added a toggle that allows gamers to disable the effect on PC and consoles. Mods are also available that can enable DLSS Frame Generation in Assassin’s Creed: Mirage.
For many gamers, chromatic aberration is an unwanted effect due to how it blurs edges and crushes the detail of many games. It can also be argued that game developers are wrong to add the effect to their games. Do games need to look like they are filmed using a real-world camera?
Update 1.05 also addresses a wide range of bugs, including fixes for quests, NPC and player animation issues, fixes for PC players with altered FOV options. These fixes and more are detailed in Ubisoft’s patch notes.
