Is there an option to turn off chromatic aberration in Assassin’s Creed Mirage?

You cannot turn off chromatic aberration in Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Unfortunately, as many players on Reddit have seen, there’s just no way to get a regular gaming experience. Chromatic aberration has become incredibly popular over time and it’s getting wild.

This is similar to what’s been seen in bloom, motion blur, and depth of field. Not ever game or movie needs it, and sometimes it makes players sick. Because of how much these options have taken over the screen, some of us can’t even play games these days without feeling nauseated. There should be a middle ground between having it all over and not having it at all.

The lack of an option to disable this feature can discourage people from playing. Your experience might be less than optimal if your rig is weak because chromatic aberration can be a heavy task on your PC. That makes the game run less smoothly, hurting your FPS, and finally making the overall game look even worse for you.

Chromatic aberration is a post-processing effect in gaming that simulates real-world lens distortions. The effect is often used to make games look more cinematic or realistic. However, color fringing is a lens distortion that causes different colors of light to focus at different points due to chromatic aberration. Colored fringes can appear around objects in an image, especially those with high contrast. 

The downsides of the feature are why people don’t like it.
