In a city where information is heavily monitored, couriers called Runners transport sensitive data. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, & you are being hunted. You are a Runner called Faith and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

After years of 'extensive reverse engineering', you can play a janky Mirror's Edge prototype in all its glory
2026-04-08 16:24 UTC · PC Gamer · Rory Norris
There's nothing else quite like Mirror's Edge. Not even its only sequel, Catalyst, is quite like the first Mirror's Edge. Bold colours, slick parkour, and a cheesy story that's trying a tad too hard, Mirror's Edge has gone on to become a cult classic despite EA shoving it to the back of the store room... Read more.
Mirror's Edge's iconic art style? Yeah, turns out it was sort of an accident
2026-01-14 22:56 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun
It's kind of baffling how Mirror's Edge came out almost two full decades ago, and there's hardly a whisper of a game that's managed to match its art direction. The thing is just too clean, too specific, there's a purpose to every detail. It feels like the future distilled into digital form, though no one really followed suit in the years since, opting for drab, lifeless realism instead. Except, as it turns out, that's almost what Mirror's Edge looked like too. Read more
Three Battlefield games—but not Mirror's Edge!—are being removed from sale forever
2023-03-21 18:51 UTC · PC Gamer · Andy Chalk
Battlefield: Bad Company 1 and 2 and Battlefield 1943 are going away forever: Electronic Arts has announced that their online services are being shut down in December, and as a result they will be removed from sale from all digital storefronts on April 28... Read more.
UPDATE: EA to pull Battlefield 1943, Bad Company 1 & 2 - and not Mirror's Edge - from digital storefronts in April
2023-03-21 17:06 UTC · VG247
UPDATE: EA has since told fans that Mirror's Edge will not be delisted from the PlayStation store. This is after EA said that the game would be removed from digital storefronts, alongside Battlefield 1942, Bad Company, and Bad Company 2. EA explains that the mention of Mirror's Edge in that announcement was an error, and that it has no plans to remove Mirror's Edge from digital storefronts. EA will soon pull four older DICE games from digital storefronts. According to EA, Battlefield 1943, Bad Company, Bad Company 2, and Mirror’s Edge will be removed from sale on April 28. Read more
Creator of Mirror's Edge's rad achievements list believes that achievements are bad, actually
2023-01-10 14:39 UTC · VG247
Former Mirror’s Edge achievement creator Fredrik Thylander has posted on Twitter that he believes achievements and trophies have been bad for gaming, despite his history of creating some pretty swell achievement lists in the past. His initial tweet reads as follows: “Unpopular opinion: achievements/trophies have been bad for gaming. It narrows games down, it disrupts and diverts attention, and it eats resources that could have made the game better.” In replies, he elaborated that, “games should have the reward mechanisms most suited for them, and the one-size-fits-all mandate
EA shutting down Mirror's Edge online services in January
2022-10-18 11:39 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun
A few more classics have made their way onto EA’s list of games they’re shutting down online services for, with Mirror’s Edge the most notable casualty for PC players. The shutdown will come into effect from January 19th, 2023, just overshooting the 13th anniversary of the game’s launch on PC. It’ll presumably affect the dystopian parkour game’s online leaderboards, and downloadable Ghosts of other players. Read more
Check out this gorgeous Mirror's Edge inspired Unreal Engine 5 project
2022-04-13 11:01 UTC · VG247
If you’re an old and jaded Mirror’s Edge fan, 3d environment artist Thomas Ripoll may be creating something that’ll put a big grin on your face. Built with the shiny new Unreal Engine 5, Thomas has released screenshots of their own project onto Twitter, and it looks like they nailed it. Linked above is the tweet containing multiple screenshots of this early project, all of which features that awesome mix of minimalism and modernism with clean primary colours pasted all over a sea of bright white urban sprawl. Everything in the images above is self-made and immediately fits the Mirror’s Edge ae
Mirror's Edge is still the undisputed queen of parkour
2022-03-29 09:51 UTC · PC Gamer · Natalie Clayton
You don’t often think about running in games, do you? Hold W to go forwards, maybe tap shift if you’re really hoofing it. Then there’s Mirror’s Edge, a game so committed to putting you in the free-running shoes of leading lady Faith Connors that you can practically feel the soles wearing out with each jump, slide, and wallrun. Parkour might not be as cool now as it was in 2008, but over a decade later, Faith is still running circles around the competition... Read more.
Awesome Games Done Quick 2021 has begun
2021-01-04 15:26 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Imogen Beckhelling)

As with previous years, the charity event is raising money for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. It’s been live since yesterday evening and runs until this Sunday, and there are already some fab runs in the likes of Mirror’s Edge and Dragon Age: Origins to catch up on. (more…)

Holy cow AGDQ 2021 starts this weekend
2020-12-30 23:28 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com
2020 is almost over. I know, yes, I'm also having a hard time believing it, but here we are, and the traditional marker of the new year is upon us: the Awesome Games Done Quick charity speedrunning marathon. AGDQ 2021 kicks off this Sunday, and while I know that sounds completely absurd at this point in time, there's a whole schedule to prove it and everything. AGDQ 2021 starts on January 3 at 9:00 PST / 12:00 EST / 17:00 GMT, though a 30-minute pre-show will begin just before that time. The show proper kicks off with an inbounds run of the parkour classic, Mirror's Edge, and the day continues
A brief history of cyberpunk games
2020-12-06 08:00 UTC · Eurogamer
The long-awaited release of Cyberpunk 2077 brings to an end years of feverish anticipation for those who have been itching to roam the streets of Night City, but it's only the latest example of gaming's fixation with the trappings of the cyberpunk genre. It's perhaps inevitable that gaming and cyberpunk are so closely entwined, given that both were birthed in the technological boom of the 1950s and gained mainstream pop culture presence around the same time in the late 70s and early 80s. The hard part is working out how to separate the games that cherry-picked aspects of the cyberpunk aestheti
Steam Trading Cards Added to Mirror's Edge
2020-06-11 14:54 UTC · Community Announcements · ea admin
On June 10th, as part of the celebration of EA content (Including Mirror's Edge Catalyst) coming back to Steam, we enabled Steam trading cards for the original Mirror's Edge.
The best platform games on PC
2019-11-27 17:00 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Jeremy Peel)
The biggest names in platforming used to live only on console, but it’s on PC now that the genre is thriving. Indies have taken the simple ingredients and spun them off in umpteen directions (but still normally from left to right). Below you’ll find a collection of the very best platform games on PC – including puzzle platformers, physics platformers, platformers with roguelike elements, and platformers about absolutely nothing but pixel-perfect jumping.
