A prequel was also released some years later, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, which further expanded the story and the gameplay.

People everywhere are playing it for the first time, including this Reddit user who wondered how can Mirror’s Edge be played on Windows 11.
And yes, the answer is that you can definitely play Mirror’s Edge on Windows 11, and it runs quite smoothly, according to the other users’ input on the Reddit thread.
Follow along and we’ll show you where to download Mirror’s Edge from and how to install it and play it.
Here’s how to download & play Mirror’s Edge on Windows 11
First, you need to know that you can download Mirror’s Edge from multiple platforms. You can choose to download it from Steam, or you can choose to download it from GOG.COM.
Both platforms work just fine, and there is no difference when it comes to actually playing the game. Of course, you should be aware of the price, but basically, other than the price, this video game will run just fine on Windows 11.
Download Mirror’s Edge from Steam
- If you already are a Steam user, go to Mirror’s Edge Steam page.
- You have two options: you can either buy it one time, or you can download it as part of your Steam subscription.
You should be able to play it without any issues, directly from Steam. However, if any issues come up, note them down, and look for a solution.
On the Reddit thread, some users encountered some issues that prevented them from playing the game on Windows 11. But it’s not a general thing, so your system might as well run it without any problems.
Download Mirror’s Edge from GOG
- You can buy the game from GOG on this page.
- Once you’re on the page, click on Add to cart to buy it.
If you choose to buy it from GOG, the platform will prompt you to install its app, and you can run it from there.
Similar to Steam, running Mirror’s Edge from GOG should be without any issues, as the platform automatically makes older video games compatible with the newer Windows versions. You should be able to enjoy it without being interrupted.
However, if by some means, you do encounter a bug that prevents you from running it, run a compatibility check.
You can do that by right click MirrorsEdge.com, selecting Properties, going to the Compatibility pane, and selecting any previous Windows versions to run this game.
Playing it will be another fun thing to do. You should know that Mirror’s Edge is a first-person platform game, so expect to move a lot, jump a lot, and avoid obstacles and enemies.
You’ll find the story compelling, and the gameplay even more fun.
